When someone says "why would anyone use a decentralized version?" remember a time in crypto when people asked why anyone would use a decentralized exchange over a centralized exchange. Obv lots of stuff don't need to be decentralized but have an open mind and think further out

I actually don't remember a ton of arguments about decentralized exchanges themselves being a bad idea, more that nobody wanted to use them early on because the products were very bad the decentralized exchange use case was in high demand because centralized exchange hacks/scams were the #1 way to get rug pulled in the early days

This was a common thing people said when there were only a few coins and I debated a lot of people on it! Might pull some up later

def would enjoy going down memory lane if you can pull up those debates! honestly cannot even remember if I had an opinion on this in the 2013-2016 era but I do remember the idea being in vogue in 2017 I even got rugged on one of the first "decentralized exchange" coins lol
