@ayoAyo Ayco So the only issue I've encountered (really the only one) is lack of integration. There are alternatives to, say, Google Suite for everything, but Google Suite integrates with Google Suite (i.e. it's trivial to drop a Drawing in a Doc or a Sheet, or reference your Contacts, or attach a Doc to an email as either a sharable link or an embed).

But I think if enough people self-host, the incentives to build those integrations go up. Sadly, integration where there's only one right answer is the one thing the open-source community is most bad at (every example I can think of where it's not awful involved either a very charismatic dictator or a company adopting an ecosystem and solving all the integration problems).

Integration is really boring and adds friction to changing the systems being integrated, and that makes it hard to find people excited about it.
