I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it's nice to have computers seem "fun" again.
At least, that's my perspective.
Not every ISP! Where I live there's an awesome ISP, Sonic, which is pro-NN, and last I heard only offers "best effort" service
which means there's no throttling your link, no paid tiers; if the fiber and hardware can support 10Gbps symmetric, then that's what you get.
Sadly, they're not the norm. And sadly, not offered at my address.

Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state
if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don't step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there's a power failure).
Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.
