It harkens to a yesteryear of decentralised everything and a spirit that wanted to keep it as such: an island for every man...

Now it's more of a huge resort super island filled with lots of other people where everyone perpetually rents everything.

Too cynical?

No, too romantic. E-mail was never good enough to be decentralized, much less at the "every man" level.
