I don’t have a home server yet but I’m exploring and sometimes I get confused about some posts here.

For example I saw a post asking for recommendation for a “self hosted budget management app”. Can’t you just install this type of app to your phone or pc? What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?

I hope I don’t sound stupid please enlighten me.

    This is like asking why no speaks one language saying, " I don’t understand how/why people speak different languages."

    Tons of reasons, some geographical, some political to some biblical, and other just out of spite.

    To answer your statement… Tons of reasons; some listed already but too many to state. I suggest you research more and it’ll help you understand why.
