self-hosted wallet is a play on words. there is no wallet. you control the private key or you don't. you don't need bitcoin core or a computer to have custody of your private key. the private key could be stored in your head as a simple poem.

Yeah but you need some kind of tool to actually create the private keys from the seed phrase, and that's part of a wallet.
