It doesn't matter unless you can convince people to use it, )or legally force it on them, causing them to hate all technology because you didn't make it good enough people chose willingly).
Private and decentralized stuff needs to get feature parity, be free as in beer like Google is, and then get a killer app that makes people want it.
I've always thought p2p offline lan messaging would be it, but Blockchain trashed all research on that aside from new tokens for like 10 years. Maybe they'll figure it out, but I suspect AI filters and random games will be more important.
Unfortunately, people who like making private apps hate most features, and think privacy is enough of a killer app for people to switch, but it doesn't seem to be.
