I do think hosting is an important part of the VCS story. I agree that hg and jj and sapling are capable of being front ends to a google3 like backend GitHub like thing to support it (Google has this internally for jj). Of course some people are working on hosting solutions for these but it feels wrong to me that hosting platforms and their underlying VCS are not made by the same team. IMO people like google3 so much because it’s one integrated system which is the approach I’m trying with Oak.

Well even at Google the hosting solutions and the VCS are not made by the same team. I lack imagination in thinking how being made by the same team can improve things, but that’s on me. Good luck!
