Thanks for quoting me out of context by cutting off the really relevant part; full quote:
While I'll grant that the learning curve is a bit much, and the software is not quite there yet (and even then, I would say that the software exists, it just hasn't been integrated properly)
Setting up your own web server isn't much harder (I'd actually argue it's easier) than rooting or jailbreaking a phone. On top of that, it's legal. And once you've rooted/jailbroken your phone, how many services will you continue to use that are hosted on someone else's hardware, using closed source software? The software to host yourself is available, it's just not well integrated yet. Also, the lockin to things like FB is a not insurmountable, but difficult problem.
