I agree. This is also why Blockstack isn't built on IPFS -- your data is only available as long as someone's pinned it. Gaia (the Blockstack storage system) will let you use IPFS as your backing store, but at the end of the day it gives users the choice as to where and how their data gets hosted. This way the user can select the best cost/performance trade-offs for hosting and storing their data.
