Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? (lemmy.world)

I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc... But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting.. maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why...

What would you suggest?

I've done this for years.

One of the benefits is that you can always just set up Gmail to pull from Pop and send with SMTP anytime if you're not ready to give up Gmail yet and then just turn it off when you are without the need to announce a change in email.

You can point your domain on any hoster like mailbox.org. There are a lot of benefits at not hosting your own mailserver.
