Sure, you could say that

Not "could". It is.

Why would you even point out

When you say "hosting in a cloud" vs selfhosting, I think you mean creating an account on a hosted service. Or using something like PikaPods or Fedihost or other managed hosting service. Because once again, hosting in a VPS is selfhosting.

When the majority of people talk about self-hosting they specifically talk about hosting a service on your own hardware. Not a rent on someone else's computer...

Even Lenovo knows this shit...

Literally no one thinks that except you. Your own sources state as much.

Whatever. You're not worth my time anymore. Keep getting scammed by cloud hosting if you want to. I will keep using my home server and spread the word about how easy it is to host a home server and how much of a scam a VPS is.

I don't use cloud hosting. But it's not a scam, there are a bunch of security measures that get implemented, and you're not creating a giant security hole in your home network, which greatly lowers the expertise required and risks involved.
