If you want to get off a platform, you can do that with a website. You don't need to give up editorial and retractive control forever (which you must do in order to use p2p, which is why this headline is so wrong) just to step off a platform.
(putting aside the fact that peertube is NOT A P2P distribution platform[1])
P2P is not different from any kind of distribution mechanism for digital content: the moment you put your content online, you've lost a good chunk of control over it since anyone can now download it a re-upload it elsewhere. This is automatic for p2p, but it also happen all the time on youtube, (or worse, porn tubes).
There is no way around it so far, and DRMs have largely failed preventing that. So any content creator must know this at this point: once you've published something online, you cannot reliably unpublish it.
Now, when you go through a centralized platform you also lose one more part of control: not only you cannot unpublish it, but you also cannot guarantee that it will remain published. This is the part of control you can get back by using peertube or other federated or distributed streaming system.
