Can you explain to me how you figure out your energy consumption?

I was installing Nextcloud and following a YouTube guide and the guy sets up his instance on linode. I just cannot wrap my head around this. Why would anyone pay that kind of money for such weak hardware? He’s paying $20 a month to self host his own cloud and only gets 2 CPUs, 4GB ram and 80GB storage! That’s totally bonkers to me! Does he also pay $50 for a slice of bread? And for what? To host his own cloud? iCloud 200GB is $10 a month lmao. So please, someone explain this to me Barney style why people are doing this instead of building their own. The only advantage is that is is probably far more reliable than hosting your own at home. Or maybe I am completely missing something or maybe I have a fundamental failure in my understanding
