>People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will

People don't trust their computers on the open internet enough to run them as servers. No computer running Linux, Windows, or MacOS exposed to raw internet is safe.

This is subject to disruption, should sufficiently well designed microkernel based OSs arrive on the scene before the war for general purpose computing is lost.

Personally, once I get a capability based OS as a daily driver, the first thing I'm going to try out is running a few servers on it, and persistently checking for trouble.
