This makes it something that the average person cannot do; you're suggesting something that already requires more time and resources than 75% of the population has access to.

If you're serious about this than go talk to a non-tech person and tell them to self-host email and see how they do. Look at their challenges, build a solution and then offer it.

Please don't try changing the goal posts by introducing "non-tech" people into this.

That's not at all what the conversation is about, and routing through an external place removes a whole bunch of hassle compared to setting up and maintaining outbound email.

You might not like it for some reason, but that's on you.
