Also. I've been hosting my own email on behalf of a company I used to own since 1999, and self-hosting my personal email since 2018. The initial setup took some time, but there's no ongoing maintenance needed for DKIM/DMARC/SPF unless you make changes to your network topology, and that hasn't yet happened for me. It's really not all that hard, and IMO we need a wide variety of email hosting providers and self-hosters to ensure that concentration amongst the Big Ones never reaches the point where they can unilaterally change the price of admission.
