> putting things on the internet in public vs. just sending them to people directly
A large proportion of the resources I host on-prem are just that. Stuff that's too large for email, or isn't static, or may get updated. Unless people host their own email server (like I do), it's going to e.g. Gmrgle anyway if you email it to them. Maybe it gets blocked, maybe it gets fubared.
Uploading it to an on-prem server and sending the link in an email is no more trouble and any issues are easier to debug.
