There are many people like you willing to spend money on a good solution that gets the job done who have no interest in self hosting and reviewing the source.

After experiencing the ease of Google photos, any basic file management system to store photos is a downgrade after that.

If ente can figure out how to do the extras (search, face matching) without invading privacy (not even sure how possible this is) I can see this being valuable to the people who want to de-google and maybe even de-apple.
