For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

Problem is, that most larger providers sort your mails to spam if the domain is not well known to them, which is not easy to achieve

    Mmm...are you sure about that? I happen to buy some random domain and I've never had any problem sending email even right after the domain created.

    But there are even people that still self host email server (have a look in the selfhosted subreddit for example). IP reputation is a thing, for sure, but I don't feel that it's been brought up by the big corp wickedly, it's a good way to prevent spam to arrive to the server. There are thousands of email providers in the world that are not Google, Amazon, Microsoft or some other big corp. This means that is possible. Is it difficult? For me for sure!!! But I think that the rising difficulty has been a result of this fields over the years. Just my 2 cents.
