I understand the need for this and I commend you on wanting to make your service into a service that everyone runs, but I don't think it's doable for the majority of people in the world based on current ISP configurations that most people use.
Bandwidth restrictions aside, there's also technical hurdles too with routing, SSL certificates, and using services such as Cloudflare to keep your home or business IP address safe. The vast majority of people just will not do this. Technical people will though.
It's a good solution for tech savvy folks, but the masses need something else.

Do the masses really need to host their own media? I don’t really think so. I do think a large number of people running software like this keeps costs low and provides enough options to reduce the risk of censorship. I see it as a “many people” not an “every person” type of thing.
Maybe not? If many people were going to do this, they'd already be running their own chevereto instance or something similar on one of the "node OS" platforms and hosting the images themselves 🫠 I just don't see this ever catching on until it's point and click easy.
