      A lot of work goes into preventing this behavior, and this goes beyond the "trustless" nature of p2p generally.

      But on the Web all of the code is "installed" by an authority (the website domain) and has a 99.9% chance of running un-changed.

      You still have to worry about proper signing and not entirely trusting other peers, but you can keep the network healthy pretty easily.

      In decentralized Web technologies the vast majority of peers can effectively be "controlled" by the installing authority.

      While today all this decentralization is viewed under the same umbrella, it's increasingly clear that they are going to widely diverge.

      History being a good guide, we can presume that things built outside the constraints of the Web won't survive a shift to the Web.

      Not without mediation and some adaptation, anyway.

      Interestingly (to me, at least), going the other way is easier. Web is harder, so once something is "web ready", other stacks easily adopt

      Exactly. Building around the constraints up front makes all the difference.

      This is also why desktop-era JS frameworks are finding it easier to succeed in native app (packed) scenarios than mobile web; web is harder

      Building for sipping your app through a straw vs. the presumption of up-front install breaks a lot of "X is cheap..." assumptions

          It has been fascinating for me to watch how badly the JS-focused bits of the web community have adapted.

          Similar story with Offline, pretty much nothing makes the migration and we need a *lot* of new software infrastructure.
