Proton's mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we're more resilient than other privacy-first companies.

Keeping a simple nas alive, with automated backups from linux + windows based machines with proper authentication already sometimes feels like a second job. Hosting all of your own services is way more effort than people realise

I have a Pi4 that runs a couple of services to run in the house. Even this still needs regular OS patching, updated images pulling, troubleshooting etc.
I ran my own mail server many years ago but I can't reliably do one anymore. Besides, death can happen at any point and I'd hate to leave my family with email mailboxes that are just gonna stop one day from something breaking or a domain not being renewed.
