I'm talking about home hosting and private keys. Not businesses with people whose full time job is to make sure everything runs fine.
I'm a nobody and I regularly have people/bots testing my router. I'm not monitoring my whole setup yet and if someone gets in I would probably not notice until it's too late.
So hosting my own CA is a hassle and a security risk I'm not willing to put work into.

Yeah that's your situation. Some people are fine with it
