Very few people outside a small clique want or care about self-hosting anything.

Most ISP won't even let you do it anyway. I know the players in Canada don't and I think Australia too. So even if you had the inclination to do it, not going to happen in our current world.

I'm not sure you need ISP approval to self host?

You may be forced to pay a lot more for a static IP address. Running servers on a residential dynamic IP address can go against the ToS/AUP for some ISPs
