It is the same reason I don't have an email at my own domain. It is difficult to setup my own and people who run small operations can only give hobby level commitments.

Social media happened because not everyone wanted to build a website. They just wanted an easy place to post and view content.

These tendencies will always bias towards a few other entities handling most of the traffic. Email, social media, and other online experiences like chat.
