Perhaps the AI age makes everyone more data privacy conscious.
I've also long thought that eventually every household will eventually have a mini server for home automation and storing personal information. The rise of the cloud kinda slowed this down, but I don't think cloud and home server are mutually exclusive.
Of course the hard part is gaining enough critical mass to make a significant switch. JSON had AJAX. YAML had Rails. What could make JSON5 or KDL break out?
You could ask what would happen if Cisco tried to force a new version of TCP/IP with unwelcome changes?
The comparison isn't quite the same yet, but it could be in the future and many bitcoin supporters think that's how it will turn out.
Bitcoin has a chance at becoming a currency because in the past it has been hard to reach a global consensus on value.
It may be possible to use a bitcoin based timestamping solution like https://github.com/goblin/chronobit to record the rights, but I can't see where the incentive is for everybody to support a distributed database of such rights.
