While I'd love to see this happen, I'm not convinced there is enough of a critical mass that actually care about the benefits of decentralised apps. Developing peer-to-peer software is considerably different to traditional software in it's communication (routing, sign-on), storage etc

"The room for exactly where decentralized code execution gives a 10-X advantage over centralized code execution is not yet obvious to me. I don’t know what that application is." -- Balaji Srinivasan, from https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2017/04/21/21-with-bala...

Of course they are. What kind of question is that?

That's not an helpful answer either
