> > concerns about the centralized nature of such a storage solution CANNOT be launched by critics: It was their criticism of decentralized storage solutions that caused the shift towards standard trust-based storage solutions, and thus they cannot criticize the move towards the latter. Otherwise, their criticism is not out of technical concern, but out of personal opinion. > This sounds like a rant devoid of meaning. > Yes, there are centralized solutions. Yes, there are decentralized solutions. Yes, critics have full right to criticize both, because both have their failings. > This has literally nothing to do with whatever ideological angle you're trying to force. The ideological angle in this case is: "N solutions have a mixture of good & bad, but at least one of them is required for system S to function. Critics that criticize N-1 of N solutions cannot criticize the usage of the Nth solution when that is the only other solution left, after catering to their desires for (1...N-1) of N solutions to not be used."
