Decentralized computing requires redundant computations for verification which seems like a waste for most applications and not to mention latency added to each request. I'm sure there's use cases for this that require more sophisticated compute than what smart contract platforms like Ethereum offer but I'm not sure what those are. If someone is being prohibited from using a cloud platform and needs to resort to a decentralized hosting platform, I can see them simply using a VPN and hosting the application on a different platform that's not censoring them. SONM requiring KYC for their decentralized platform sounds like an oxymoron.
