Here’s what I’m imagining. The phone is listening on port 80, probably running some jacked up plug-in to play a favorite song. The user probably installs it and then forgets it’s there. The plug-in becomes severely out of date, running code with multiple zero day exploits. In the best case scenario it is running your battery down and using up your bandwidth, it’s commonly just unavailable because your metro area cell network is jammed so your visitors can’t access the site at all, and worst case it can be tricked into running local scripts that do nefarious things.
We get it dude; you wanna run servers off of android.
Good thing the base is open source, you can go ahead and build that dream phone OS that doesn’t care about your personal security.
Nobody else wants to do this so I’m not sure why you’re arguing to hard for everyone to be able to do it. Why would I want to self host a website on a phone and expose myself to a million new attack vectors when there’s free hosting available en masse?
I run a server now for lots of local stuff and I still pay for a web server so my home isn’t constantly exposed to the internet at large. Why the fuck would anyone want to do that, IDK. it’s a fucking privacy nightmare.

You are commenting as if everyone who would turn this feature on would have the technical acumen to understand how any of it works.

The boat is already full of holes, so let’s poke more!
