Also depends on whether they rent the hardware or the installed server. I.e. bare computer vs computer running Ubuntu on top of which they can install whatever. They may actually not have a choice with their current provider.

Yes, I hate it when people eat their dogfood. Dogfood is for dogs. People don't function as well on a diet of dogfood. Furthermore, that motivates people to change the dogfood to make it more palatable to them, at the expense of dogs.

If everyone must eat their own dogfood, only people who make dogfood will eat.
