OP here. Did not mean to imply that web5 sprung out of web3 in any sense. Really I just found web3 to be a useful reference point for explaining SSI. Lots of people understand how web3 works at this point, but there's way less mindshare around the idea of a digital wallet that actually holds credentials and not just private keys.
To that end, I'm generally happy to support the hype, and hope this stuff gets more attention from the web3 lot.
