I'd suggest it's more of a journey, with convenience and usability at the start. Witness many youtube creatives trying to jump ship wrt to cut of the monetization, changes in monetization eg. longform videos, shadowbanning, and so on. These are secondary, perhaps more subtle, considerations that come to the fore after a while, and illustrate the dichotomy between platform reach and endorsing that platform. Fundamentally I think we are still dealing with hard decentralised problems - Small world networks are better understood from a tech perspective. AT-protocol, zksnarks, DIDs, lattice types and the like are fertile ground for exploration that MAY yield new advantages in this problem space. UX can follow the function.
