I think you believe a little too much. There are far better alternatives out there. The first thing that comes to mind for a truly decentralized web is IPFS. As for comparisons to the internet you're giving Ethereum too much credit and not enough credit to the original architects of the internet. Those folks were geniuses and academics, not web 2.0 up and comers. There is a world of difference between the two. One kind can do rigorous and scientific thinking and the other one can't and instead cobbles together a VM for a turing complete language to perform arbitrary computations in an untrusted, bug ridden, informally specified environment. As Alan Kay once said
> The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. -- Alan Kay.
Ethereum is of the web kind. It's amateurish.
