Whether web3 becomes a thing is not anybody's guess. Anybody who thinks about it clearly can easily conclude that it will never be a thing except among scammers and their marks.

Oh absolutely, a centralized digital assets trading platform for general digital goods would be better in almost every (at least technical) way compared to a blockchain/decentralized platform. The challenge isn't technical, it's getting parties to trust you and your platform, and to use it. That's maybe the one (if not the only) upshot to using a blockchain; I don't necessarily have to trust the platform. That said, Visa and Mastercard basically have a duopoly on digital payments, so it's not unrealistic to think someone could do the same but with trading/tracking ownership of digital assets.
