if I run an online service, and you login with web3, if you're an asshole, I can still ban your "indelible" account

Web3 services will be run by assholes for assholes so they won't need to ban anyone.

That's not true if it's a smart contract. People are still using the uniswap v2 smart-contract even though the uniswap website has completely moved on to v3.

In that case you're running a traditional centralised web2 service. If your service runs as a set of smart contracts, anyone willing to pay the fees can always use it. Forever.
