I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc... But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting.. maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why...

What would you suggest?

there is a lot to hosting mail. Reading about it, like this book will educate you about all that’s involved.

So, giving that I am an "average user", do you think it would be bad to use my Bluehost unlimited storage? I have to pay that anyway, because I have couple of personal website there..

If you are willing to study the subject and become advanced at it, go for it. Otherwise, use an existing mail service, possibly with your own domain, but stay away from the mail protocols and requirements.
