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?

Tor exit node, public Lemmy instance.

Weirdly for extremely similar reasons

Yes these. Essentially anything that an unidentified user could push data to that would land me in regulatory trouble. I would want to host these things, but I don't want to become a distributor of anything that would get me a search warrant.

Lemmy instance for me as well. I have a specific community I miss from reddit that I want to replicate, I even have a domain sitting around that'd be good...I just don't want to store data coming from complete strangers. I also have zero interest in any sort of admin/moderating. So I'll just go without it and get over it lol
