The federation architecture allows anyone to host a BGS, though it’s a fairly resource-demanding service. In all likelihood, there may be a few large full-network providers, and then a long tail of partial-network providers. Small bespoke BGSs could also service tightly or well-defined slices of the network, like a specific new application or a small community.

From a dev perspective, this will probably be a big problem.
Right now, an ActivityPub server can be operated on a Raspberry Pi.
You can deploy one inexpensively with minimal investment.
Personally, I'm running multiple ActivityPub servers that serve many disparate needs.
Starting up a BGS will probably be out of reach for most people.
