Hmmm good insight. Seems like a major oversight that a user's identity is limited to the server they are using. Your solution sounds better!
There was a lot of hope and promise in the concepts of decentralized, privacy-friendly web 3.0 with various approaches like Solid, Decentralized Web Node DWN, Fediverse, InterPlanetary File System, but it all remains a bit niche and peripheral.
It is a shame yes. But I think much of the underlying philosophy is sound and so for that reason I believe that there is a future for these sort of decentralized technologies. I guess widespread adoption has not been helped by the economic juggernaut of advertising $$ facilitated by targeting.
