1) IPFS can be slow and unreliable
2) The network is less self sufficient because casts now depend on IPFS
3) Embeds rot over time if data is not pinned or preserved
4) Clients need to build custom UI for every possible extended cast type
5) Competing standards for different data types may fight each other

Love you horsefacts, but this is one of the most tired arguments against IPFS. If I run an HTTP server on my computer and expose the port to the world, anyone making requests to it would say it's slow and unreliable. That's why people don't do that when they need speed and reliability.
