I think that sounds like a really good idea, if you want to get corporate- and government hosted instances on board. What keeps most of them away from free software is that they can't write a contract with anyone with clear boundaries and guarantees. If Mastodon offers these types of contracts, it would help the adoption rate.
They can. There are plenty of companies offering Mastodon hosting.

We are big fans of them!
Mastodon isn’t different than any other software, anybody with a half-way experienced IT department could spin up an instance. This sounds like it’s more for small organizations and individuals.
Any company with experienced IT staff could do 80% of SaaS themselves, but they don't because it's a huge headache to maintain and issues can easily balloon costs. The bean counters much prefer fixed cost contracts most of the time
