>unless you are going to roll your own emergency power, multiple redundant HVAC, and fire supression, as well as shell out hundreds of dollars a month for significant upload bandwidth to your house or apartment, your data and encryption keys are still in the physical possession of a corporate datacenter.
You don't need significant upload bandwidth for email. Or download bandwidth either. (Unless you're expecting constant DDOS attacks.) Or emergency services. The HVAC might be a good idea.
You could have made your point a lot better by just saying that 99.9% of users will never set up a home server to do email. Which is the truth.

You probably should be expecting consistant DDOS attacks, or at least aggressive scanning.
OP failed to mention setting up DKIM and SPF as well.
True. But residential bandwidth is just one of many reasons why mainstream users aren't going to actually own their own email anytime soon.
