The ability to chose how sovereign you want to be is the real killer feature. You can be entirely self sovereign by hosting your feed and files on your own server in your basement. Or you can fully trust a centralized custodian to host and build your feeds for you. There's other flavors in between as well.

Imo as long as you're in control of your feeds and files, the tradeoffs for convenience and associated risks are yours to take as you see fit. Im here for all of it.
