Perfect analogy. From 1998-2006 it was easier to get pirated music than pay for it. Once the music industry realized that the days of people paying $20 per CD that they may only listen to a few times were over, the streamers took over and now 90+% of music is listened to with permission of the centralized gate keepers.

Regulators and other parties will catch up eventually. When there is a 500% tax on homes/cars you purchase with BTC the whole "decentralization/permissionless" idea will fade away.
