As long as you "own" the domain name yourself, so can point anywhere, what's the problem with using a platform and expecting to have to move someday?

Money, I suppose? Heroku is notoriously trivial to use, and notoriously expensive for the amount of storage and compute you get.

A semi-successful but not heavily monetized side project on Heroku could cost you an arm and a leg, while running the same thing on some Hetzner box under Dokku, along with a couple of others, may be not that much noticeable.
