This is as clear and succinct a statement as to why "web3" has nothing to offer as I have read.
Translation: we will rebuild existing financial institutions with a bunch of move-fast break-things poorly-regulated "difi" companies which will both intentionally and through ignorance recapitulate every flaw of the existing financial industry.
Purpose: as in the Celsius case, to intentionally exploit regulatory response time so as to extract money through opaque extra-legal and unethical exploits, intended to allow ourselves and chosen insiders to run off it, leaving deluded last-fools holding the bag.
There is literally no benefit to anyone except the VC backing the scam, who are using chaff and FOMO to farm rubes.
