Self-hosted email is hard (or really, impossible) for a high enough

My
father has been using computers since well before I was born, is
still
working on rockets today, but I have to explain email technicalities
to
him sometimes, things that we just take for granted.
"Self hosting any network service is hard (or really, impossible) for
high
enough percentage of the Internet population" not because it is hard,
but simple because it requires more knowledge than click on random
link or fill facebook's login form (which are nowadays often
considered
as Internet expert skills)...
For the overwhelming majority of the global internet population,
"internet == web", and is operated by a handful of multinational
advertising conglomerates. Except to a vanishingly small group of
specialised individuals, the internet exists in a web browser.
Email is where you get your bills and receipts.
You don't have to like this reality (I certainly don't) but you can't
ignore it.
