You, sir, have fully understood why a real p2p browser shouldn't have a gateway to offload state mutations.
What I do not like about all "decentralization" claims in the crypto space is that they are actually centralized due to their (money costing) gateway infrastructures that bloat the originating state mutation up with metadata it doesn't really need.
We've seen p2p before. It was based on seeders and leechers and worked fine. Granted, trackers were bad, but mostly due to underlying missing encryption for transport.
We just need to fix p2p transport encryption with keys that are not made for identification but rather just for the sake of transport of states - in order to guarantee privacy.
If keys - or wallets - can be uniquely identified, people could've just used google chrome instead, because they actually gained nothing.
