Decentralisation is not interoperability.
As far as I understand Web3 is mostly presented with descentralisation in mind.
> We badly need commonly accepted standards and decentralized protocols
In my opinion "standard" and "descentralization" does not work good to support the same argument.
Here is one among many possible ways the future might unfold: a totally descentralized internet might be completely controller by few corporations. The reason is simple in my opinion: The normal user does not care about this. The normal user cares to talk with their family and their family are all using the web3-chat from BigOrg. Because BigOrg can give it for free and it works on all devices. Now as everything is descentralized BigOrg is also pushing a new browser. But this browser is showing only content from BigOrg through BigOrg descentralized servers. They have their own Web3-Smart-Blockchain-Ready-NoNSdeletion-DNS that is used only by their own browser that displays only websites that are registered there.
Now try to switch that normal user to another provider. That will be hard thing to do.
I think users will be _more_ captive than they are now as switching between descentralized services is hard. No business yet has an incentive to make a descentralized service and in the same time use a standard.
Of course I am missing maybe some web3 tech and I am in no way an expert in what web3 is or it will be.
