Just the idea of having an always-on computer anywhere in your home excludes probably more than 80% of everyone who has ever written a blog. IPv4 is not why people use hosted services.

I have yet to meet someone who turns off the router at night, although I have heard of such people.
Then if you think about it, TVs, washing machines, etc. people are too lazy to turn them off, and OLED TVs even require being turned on while not being used.

He obviously meant a general-purpose PC, the type of thing you might host a blog from.
so when you can have a TV for movies, why can't you have a server for a blog?

Because you have to have a TV for movies (unless you want to watch them on a small laptop screen)[1]. Whereas there is very literal practical reason to self-host a blog.
[1]: Yes I know cinemas exist but they are very expensive and don't show content on demand.
