I don’t necessarily think being able to self host is or should be a core requirement for PG to only then recommend the services/apps/products. I also do not think it’s necessary for all privacy apps to be able to make it possible or the option available to self host. It would be nice, sure. But I don’t think it should be a criteria that you weight heavily when evaluating a privacy product/service for recommendation.
