I mean yeah, it's possible to set it up privacy-respecting and that's great. But the average tech enthusiast doesn't set up his own server beyound a NAS.

A NAS is the perfect device to host it on though. Docker or VM.

Heh, I'd argue the average tech enthusiast is exactly the person that would set this up. If not them, then who is homeassistant for? I think modern tech enthusiasts are privacy conscious and will put in the small effort to enjoy that privacy. Its non-techies who wouldnt bother and just use the app it comes with.
