Given that truly decentralized mass-market application/data hosting is not on the immediate horizon, the Sandstorm model is IMO really the best answer to how the average person can control their data. It brings the security and permissions model of mobile apps to the server side and makes it about a safe/hassle free to host web apps as it is to obtain and install mobile apps. In return it places some restrictions on how developers build apps, which unfortunately means that it can't take advantage of all of the existing open source apps out there without extra work. But hopefully as people start to prioritize having control over their data, the app ecosystem will pick up steam.
