It’s true and I completely disagree with the take that we can’t generalize this statement because a few “nerds” still want to run their own. Generalizations are based on 99.9% of cases, and .1% are exceptions.
The truth is that most people don’t want to run their server, rather they can’t. Most users on the internet don’t have basic literacy, let alone knowing what a server is or how to run it. It is safe to assume most people don’t want to do much beyond one click access to whatever it is that they want to do on the internet. And the most efficient way of doing that is, you guessed it, platforms and centralization.
