I want to point out that systems don’t have to have a blockchain to be decentralized. Aside from that distinction, you’re right that theoretically, there’s a decentralized version of most computing systems. They’re really two sides of the same coin.
My knowledge is pretty limited, but a fundamental aspect of the self-hosting problem is the scarcity of ipv4 addresses and that ipv6 adoption is incomplete. It’s non-trivial to set up a public server when most home networks are behind a NAT
I have been playing with IPv6 recently and have my Monero node running over IPv6 so I can connect my wallets to it both when I am at home and away and it works really well actually. I always thought that IPv6 seemed incredibly difficult, but it's actually a hell of a lot easier than I thought.
