I think server/app deployments would need to be just a little more happy-clicky and lower friction and less risk before more non techies would venture into that space. All the "best practices" a sysadmin performs would have to be baked into it or at least be checkboxes that enable them at a cost with simple explanations of each functions cost/benefit in video format. Some VPS providers are slowly going in this direction but have quite a ways to go in my opinion. They have lowered the bar for new techies at least.
