I've rarely worked on two projects that had the same CI set up.  The
difference is usually environmental.  Every project has there own
setup of tools, databases, other system and other products that need
to be involved in the testing process.  A hosted CI service attempts
to commoditise the environment.  So then you get stuck between a rock
and a hard place.  Either you do less in your build (bad) or you gain
more control over the environment.  That's often impossible in a
corporate environment (which is where the biggest profit is likely to
come from) because systems you need to integrate with are in a DMZ.
It's also probably impractical for other scenarios because it's more
effective to set up a CI product in an environment you already
control.
