You are right. I never been in those shoes, but for a different reason that you believe: I simply do not want to support/contribute for the development of any system that depends on centralizing and monopolizing the users. I don't believe that it is the right way to do it. Moxie does. I rather have, work on and put skin on the game of decentralized/distributed systems. Moxie prefers to build centralized systems. He is the one putting skin on the game behind that. So I don't think we should be easy on him when the system he proposed fails so catastrophically precisely for the reasons that critics of centralized solutions said it was likely to fail. Yeah, I would never get 40M+ users on a week. That would be by design. Instead of one company getting this many people (and potentially being killed in the process) I'd rather have 400 new providers, each working to get 10k customers. Easier to scale, more people figuring out issues, more people contributing to the system and making the infrastructure antifragile.
