The problem isn't that users don't care, but that there's no revenue model. As a result none of these decentralized networking or platform companies can get funding.

Without funding, they don't have the resources to build truly compelling products. You can prototype something in your spare time, but to polish something to be truly competitive outside enthusiast circles you need to dedicate serious time to it.

Even if users did care there is no mechanism for them to pay for it, so it doesn't happen.
