Classic peer-to-peer networks have low connectivity. Scale-free networks are resilient (most nodes don't matter), but are vulnerable to attack (kill a few "hubs").
DHTs (such as underlying Holochain) are scale-free, but also automatically heal from attacks.
Most importantly, they operate essentially unimpeded even in the face of successful network partitioning attacks.
All while each "agent" (You) retain complete cryptographic control of your data and identity.
And, if/when you want to migrate your data (exfiltrate), re-package the functionality (create new clients, or integrate multiple networks), or even completely fork the entire application -- all of this is at your fingertips, and no entity can stop you.
