Self hosting is en mostly about keeping control of your data, paying capex instead of opex and having something to play/learn with. If you don't need any of those you probably don't wanna self host tbf.
Lots of people here have quite a large media collection and storage costs can addup pretty quick in opex. I basically have 15TB of media in Jellyfin so just imagine the cost of that in public cloud.
