This is assuming that centralized platforms will continue to rule the world. What if they get replaced by theyr p2p alternatives? The permissionless p2p Bitcoin network that no one owns doesn’t exhibit these characteristics related to sociopolitical bounderies.

If you bet on a p2p world the picture looks very different and China / Asia are pretty big into it.

In any case, an IBM white paper on IoT rightfully predicts, in my opinion, the death of IoT in the absence of Blockchain technology. Since IoT will supply most of the data for AI, the infrastructure needs to be p2p. AI will be built on top of p2p technology.
