It's a perfectly rational business decision.

Business involves tradeoffs.

Most people do prefer if someone else hosts the software (which is why most web-based software is hosted).

It's much cheaper for a business to maintain one hosted version than support many customers that host it themselves.

Going for a bigger market that is also cheaper to support is exactly the kind of decision that a rational business would make.
