This is a great initiative. The last time I remember setting up a mail server using Postfix or Dovecot was around 2015.
It was a traumatizing experience. It rarely worked, all my email went to spam and I absolutely hated the amount of hackery and duct tape required to keep it working. Configuration files, missed emails...
It was so unpleasant, to this day I avoid messing with mail on servers at all costs. I'd much rather pay for Mailgun or some provider.
Lately I've been seeing an uptick of these apps making self-hosted email easier. Mail in a box, Maddy, etc. I will unconditionally support anything that makes doing this easier.
I'm not switching from GSuite, but I'm happy to see progress in the space.
