I still think that account migration would be very important in that circumstance because unless you ran your own server from the start you would still need to migrate the account and control of its content over to the account on your server.

Yeah very true, to get all that you subbed to etc.

Also to retain control of your posts and comments and not lose your history. Which is important since if they're on the old account the old server can control and make edits to them, but with ownership transfer now they just have a copy of it and it's harder for them to misuse it (the original has its edits federated, a copy doesn't).
