The self-hosting survey is out. Complete dominance by:

- Linux >90%
- Men >90%
- ...who work in Tech 80%

Outside this bubble:

- Linux: single digit percentage of people are familiar
- Work in tech: single digit percentages again in the US
- Male: ok that one is around 50%

People ask why don't users self-host? But the real question is why hasn't self-hosting been made attractive to the 90+% of the rest of the world?
