Innovation in the short term might trump longer term security concerns. All of these have big warning labels like it's alpha software (ie, this isn't for your mom to use). The security model will come later... or maybe it will nev

Based on your wiki almost all of those are from 2010 era and shut down long ago The US has always had a number of grey market scammy businesses like those too. Lots of countries do.
