Probably because it requires people to actually read the documentation, to install and make a bit of effort in getting something private. I guess people are just too scared to leave their "comfort zone" bubble
This is probably it, but it's just so unfortunate that there's a constant loop that can be solved by just not entrusting a single centralized company to it:

Like man, I'm just now getting some people to selfhosted Stoat + Matrix, but I just know once some investor-backed competitor arises, some of 'em won't even give Stoat a chance for development to catch up.
Yup. Basically the pros of centralized platforms our way the cons for most people
