Not everyone can afford to host such a service. For some people, bills would be an issue. For others, buying and storing the hardware would be an issue. For me, storing the hardware and hosting anything would be problematic, as I’m in student accommodation meaning space is limited as it is, let alone with extra stuff laying around. There’s also a point in my contract which states that upon using too much electricity, I would be asked to pay for it over it being included in the contract. On top of that, I don’t even need this as it is overkill for my use case, where I already have a backup of all cool and important stuff and a secondary backup of all the cool and important stuff that can’t be found on the internet or is very difficult to find. So yeah. That’s what I meant. Not everyone can afgord the luxury of doing so.

Yes, because an extra 1.50$ / year would definitely kill your wallet.
This is a valid concern thought, however you may host it at your parent’s home for instance. Either way a RPi and a disk aren’t that big.
You’re framing this as luxury when it fact it’s more like a small time effort to set it up than anything else.
