I think the extra $2 accounts for the laziness factor. By all means run your own - that's probably better for the overall ecosystem.

OK, where's the source?

That's not the tent.is site.

I think the pricing is partly as a driver for folks to do just that: host it themselves and flesh out the ecosystem.

<$10 a month + the dollar value of the expertise required to maintain the server per unit time.

Same here, sign up and consequent access to my subdomain is broken with NoScript.

I see it more as a donation kind of pricing. :)
