the problem with using your own vpn on a vps is that you don't get residential ip addresses so you might be seeing tons of captchas everywhere
also its all about the risk model, vpns are used to either hide the origin of where you are coming from or hide your traffic from your isp. by using a service you also have a larger anonymity set vs having your own vps
