Normies pay with money; you're paying with time and knowledge.

Nope, normies pay with sovereignty. Given the entire ecosystem (Microsoft, Apple, Google and Meta being the main ones) is trying to rob me of it, I'm happy hosting what I need and can handle admining, paying for what I need and can't handle admining, and saying no to the rest.
