It isn't self-hosting that is the problem. It is the setup and network layer.

Do you have complaints about self-hosting solitaire or minesweeper? Of course not! They install without configuration and just work.

I'd counter with give me a protocol that doesn't require configuration of any apps that use it.

I don't want to pay for hosted services, not out of unwillingness to pay, but because that means I have configure something. Try telling people that they can have a great video-editing program and here are 14 companies they can pay to use it each with slightly different versions and pros and cons, but at least they are mostly interoperable.
