Who says crypto has to be involved for it to be web3. Isn't being distributed (versus centralized) the defining characteristic?

The VC vision of Web3 is what is saturating the airwaves, and that absolutely has crypto front and center. Accessing anything considered 'Web3' currently requires a crypto wallet login, unless you're viewing a clearweb mirror version.
