This makes many factually incorrect statements, over generalizations, and is filled with emotion. I don’t know where to start.

Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t own the term “web 3(.0)”.

Miners/validators charge a fee. Any cloud provider also charges a fee. DIY isn’t free either.

I’ll ignore DeFi because I know it doesn’t necessarily sit well with HN, but there are valid use cases for blockchain in Gaming.

10 years is a long time, yes. But there are a lot of things that need to be built, tested, and adopted. Blockchain moves slowly. So what?

Comparing anything to the iPhone is a terrible argument. The iPhone is arguably the biggest success (design, marketing, need) of the last 25 years and comparing anything to it doesn’t tell us anything other than “yes, iPhone good”.
