Unless you live in a tunnel, who cares? If you’re hosting a basic portfolio and personal site you don’t even need 2 9’s of reliability

Everyone being able to check whether you’re in an area without cell reception does not seem like the best of ideas.

That's already reasonably testable by attempting to call the device via PSTN.

How did you make this leap? Are you capable of understanding nuance?

I made this leap because the foundation of your claim that phones should run webservers appears to be Personal computers should be able to run a web server > Phones are personal computers > Phones should be able to run webservers.

Phones have indeed turned into personal computers. Why is this hard to accept? For many use cases including basic web browsing, the phone has taken over the market where the personal computer used to dominate.
