我读下来感觉他不是在反对联邦制，而是说这样的服务很难大众化，普遍化。 我觉得没啥问题， 联邦制/去中心的东西用户群终究是少数（但很必要）最重要的是最后一段：

An open source infrastructure for a centralized network now provides almost the same level of control as federated protocols, without giving up the ability to adapt. If a centralized provider with an open source infrastructure ever makes horrible changes, those that disagree have the software they need to run their own alternative instead. It may not be as beautiful as federation, but at this point it seems that it will have to do.

开源、去中心等这些技术并非和中心化的企业/组织是绝对的对立关系，成熟、有需求的开源技术会成为新的中心化技术/商业模式的底层。最好的例子是android和google还有一系列大厂。我觉得对于crypto 来说也一样，未来的giants是能运用btc/eth这些技术 作为他们底层运作模块的那一批。
