Didn't you get the memo? If you stamp enough buzzwords on everything, it magically works, regardless of their relevance to the application.

I see you got the memo that being dismissive of everything that contains buzzwords is still popular ;)

Both IPFS and blockchain are definitely applicable to decentralizing applications. E.g. DSound[0], a distributed version of Soundcloud is built with IPFS + a blockchain(not necessarily a fan of STEEM though). There could just as well be something analogous for Github, Bitbucket, etc..
