I think you’re missing my point. Your argument is valid in how things have been until now: the dreaded off between self hosting and vendor hosting clearly came down in favor of vendors because as you rightly point out they patch known security issues more frequently than most self hosters will. But I argue that has flipped because ai is exploiting unknown vulnerabilities so the larger vendors represent a more attractive target to get access to lots of info rather than self hosting.
