DAUs feel like a web2 metric. seems like viewing users as all the same made sense in the ad model where a view was a view is a view. but with all this identity data/access to wallets txn history and balanceOfs in web3, you can rank users by a lot of things from the app level. how much ETH do they own? How many NFTs etc

yes - so if we want to rank dapps, a mix of how many users with high onchain value (how many eth / nfts do they have) + social signal (social media mentions etc) + community activity might be a better metric
