TLDR: someone has to pay the bill. If users don't, advertisers will.

  Not a problem for email, which is P2P.

    Most peoples personal email these days is paid for by advertising.

      Sure, but it's not something that makes the P2P not work. The "problem" is that users have to either administer a server, pay for a service or accept ads, and they mostly choose the latter. I'm not crazy about the fact they make that choice, but the fact the choice exists is not really a problem with the protocol.
