Has the definition of self-hosting email evolved to include using a third-party SMTP relay service?

(It's always been a slightly fuzzy definition, and maybe the last time it shifted was when it included running on cloud servers/VPS rather computer hardware that you own.)

I used ISP SMTP servers for outbound relay back in the late 90s when installing on-prem email servers. It struck me as a fairly common thing then.
