If you want to use IPFS without using a public gateway, it is very easy to install and use a local gateway.

If you also use a browser extension like "IPFS Companion", it can automatically redirect all IPFS-looking URLs to your local gateway.

I agree this doesn't help for casual users who have never heard of it, but it's at least better than "everyone has to use a public gateway all the time".

Neither of these things you mention are very easy on my primary computer, an iPad Pro.

You don't have a general-purpose computer, you have a locked down browser.

(But point taken, a lot of people aren't using general-purpose computers.)
