I don't think its downloading apps that is hard necessarily, but there are a few big barriers getting in the way for casual users to run a self-hosted FOSS solution:

knowing other options exist
seeing a problem with their current way of doing things in terms of security
having the confidence to feel like setup won't be a headache, or that maintenance won't be a problem with their non-tech background

I think its pretty understandable that a normal person would preference "one simple app" than a DIY 2 app system when you consider the above.
