Windows Server isn't so bad as a server platform, although it comes with a lot of unnecessary overhead, and its container support sucks. Given that containers are really the way to go with self-hosted services now, that makes Windows Server a poor choice.
But realistically, when most people say they're self hosting on Windows, they mean regular old consumer Windows, which absolutely hates running for extended periods without rebooting. It's just not built for uptime.
