The points made are relevant. However, they are much more political/social points rather than technological. Technology could help to facilitate such social or political change but it is the smaller part.

Somehow the web3/crypto etc discussions tend to vastly overestimate the role of technology vs the role of societal choices.

Technological changes are often precursor to societal change. But its not necessarily easy to predict what that societal change will be. Very often it isn't what the techno-enthuiasts think it will be.
