I understand your position morally but from a practical POV, speaking as
someone who's currently hosting servers in his living room, any hosting
option would be an improvement to me and one with by a Debian Project

And strictly speaking (1) I don't see a conflict of interest and (2)
even if there were one, these can be disclosed and dealt with. Hosting
isn't that opaque.
Best,
Christian
