Personally, I'm excited there's a decentralized option that's super popular. Yes, relatively very few run their own PDS, but if the main bsky instance becomes a problem for anyone, people can easily migrate.
It's not just data ownership either; The AT protocol supports community-built algorithms, relays, and app views.
The whole thing's just a scam to off-load data storage costs to super-users. It's sad that people are excited about it.
I wouldn't say it's truly decentralised in its current state.
