That depends on where you are.
I read a blog post of someone once who got a 25Gbit line for his home Internet connection in Switzerland. I was like, why on earth would you do that... until I discovered that the price of that connection was about the same as the 100Mbit line I had at my place in South Africa at the time, with a 1Gbit line being more than double that price.
I wouldn't Colo in Switzerland. I might in SA.

I love the concept and would like to get myself one.
However, their chosen license, CC by-nc-sa, is not open source, as the non commercial parts of that license fails the OSD's 'no discrimination against fields of endeavour' requirement.

Oh you can totally do that if you want to and your home Internet connection can carry the load. I've done this myself and there's nothing wrong with it.
But there are cases where that isn't enough, or where a home Internet connection of sufficient speed is prohibitively expensive.

I would say it depends on your definition though.
I used to rent 1U plus power and network in a rack on a single rented tile that was part of a rented room in a data center.
The owners of the data center rented out rooms, network, and power, and left the rest to tenants.
I see nothing wrong with such a data center. And they still exist; I know of at least one in the neighbourhood of the place that I moved out of a few months ago.

Open source maintainers at profitable companies: stop asking permission to fix what your employer already depends on.
No paperwork. No programme. No manager’s blessing. Just maintain it on the clock.
My wife sent me this. Excellent. (No idea where it came from)
Error: No such option: --repo-url (Possible options: --repo-branch, --repo-type, --repository-url)

I agree there's scope for tools that run on your system. That scope can be achieved if you make things optional.
I don't agree there's scope in what a developer is or isn't allowed to develop. You're not anyone's boss.
As for opt out, you forget that distributions have a faaaar larger influence on what happens to be installed on your system by default then whatever the upstream developers decide to put out there.

Finished a second read of @scalzi 's 'the shattering peace', and only now do I realise that the colony actually *isn't* locked away in a separate universe forever...
@nazokiyoubinbou
No.
I don't subscribe to the idea that there is anything 'in' or 'out' of scope for anyone. You want to write something, and people want to use it? Great. Do that. We already have a scarcity of maintainers, let's not make it worse.
As long as the not-init-system parts can be disabled (and they can be), I see no problem with systemd providing a whole bunch of extra tools that work well with the rest of the system.

You can run systemd without systemd-resolved. I have done so ~forever.
The idea is that it makes certain things easier (e.g., having different DNS configs for different network interfaces), but the systemd developers know and understand that it isn't a valid thing everywhere.
