Short answer: accessibility, security, and privacy.
Long answer: Hosted services allow accessibility for more devices and users. If your network is properly secured and maintained, your personal network will be more secure than huge services that are well known targets with thousands of employees as potential victims of social engineering. Privacy because I don’t trust my data with third parties and cloud based services.
Some added detail on that last topic, it’s not just trust to secure my data; it’s trust to respect my data. I’ve worked as a software engineer building systems for marketing teams. I’ve worked projects to integrate with data warehousing services and social media platforms. Most people would be shocked by how much data companies have collected and correlated with you.
