Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?

I recently found out that instead of just using online sources, you can also use something you can host yourself, like Komga, in Mihon. I'm just wondering if there's an advantage to it that I didn't think of because the only things I can think of are:
- Progress is synced over multiple devices
- Online sources can suddenly go offline, your self-hosted service won't

I believe Tachiyomi was meant to download the manga and view it on Android?
I forgot what Komga was, is it a downloader?

Correct

Similar to something like plex, jellyfin, kavita, etc. Its basically a manga media server. Not a Downloader
For downloading, I ended up trying out "kaizoku," which is unfortunately no longer maintained. Acts as a frontend for a service called "mangal," which seems to no longer be maintained as well... Does the job for some websites at least.
It should be noted that Paperback works with Kavita only so long as you don’t use Cloudflare to proxy your Kavita server.
Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku.
Awesome, appreciate it.
