The whole point of GNU is having control over the binaries run on your local machine.
Today our situation is far worse than that, our data is held and processed by third parties.
The advantage of the latter is so great that Big Tech no longer cares of you run some weirdo OS. They own you anyway.
I self-host almost my entire stack and infra.
Its so much work and Im not a techie. Its definitely beyond most people's reach.
(I self host everything except email and calendar -> Apple and Microsoft own me)
