To be fair, you are on a Self-hosting community but maybe read up the wiki or file the issue to suggest an option to make it not required on their git repo? 🤷

Otherwise, I'm not sure what else are we suppose to say

  You should probably ask the developers then. But the answer is probably to support things like password resets in environments with multiple users. It’s less development effort to implement it this way than to maintain multiple code paths with varying levels of account management.

    This is the repo.
    
    However, it seems they’re running a business, which means revenue generating features will probably be prioritized. They’re not running a charity.
    
    I’m sure if you donate enough money you can probably get them to implement better self hosting functionality. Chances are the email requirement is just what they have for other features.
