It legally has very little to do with a custodial platform.
That was not my claim. Look, I'm aware of the smoke and mirrors behind all this, I don't care to discuss it further.
And IPFS is a decade old open source protocol. The viability of protocol labs is as irrelevant to it as the viability of Rainberry to BitTorrent.
Technically true while de facto not true at all. The only way to connect IPFS to any relevant degree of real-world usage is via a domain owned by Protocol, otherwise you have to run an IPFS daemon locally, which nobody does. Like, I'm literally a software nerd and I have never met one person in my entire life who has done this (besides me, and that was only to try it out and be annoyed with how comically inefficient it was before turning it off and deleting it). Contrast that with torrents -- even many non-technical people I know who couldn't program their way out of a Python tutorial use torrents!
