No, the main upside of running your own SD web UI is that you can select and deploy your own checkpoints (not just using the base SD models), LoRas, embeddings, upscaling models, and UI plugins supporting additional services/models/features like multidiffusion (bigger gens and controls of which areas within the image different prompts apply to), ControlNet and associated models, video synthesis, combinatorial prompts, prompt shifting during generation to do blending effects, and, well, a million other things.
Also, you can completely automate it.

The midjourney price would be equivalent to ~100 hours cloud time. How is that crazy expensive?
The main upside of running your own SD is that you can completely automate it, but I'm not sure how useful that really is.
