While the talk covers this in greater depth, there were a few primary reasons my research uncovered: A heavy focus on an extensible, ambitious development framework de-emphasized builders and adopters who want low/no-code solutions and are concerned with time-to-value Frameworks are positioned for an enterprise market, where extensibility is critical to business success. Adoption is favoring tools that have more SaaS-based delivery (including products that deliver Wordpress) because they address SMB needs: faster time-to-value, common everyday features, usability over extensibility, no-code, and no/low maintenance offerings.

- Time for THEM to agree to OUR terms | by Doc Searls | Medium — We can do for customers what Creative Commons does for artists: give them terms they can offer — and be can read and agreed to by lawyers, ordinary folks, and their machines. And then we can watch “free market” come to mean what it says, and not just “your choice of captor.”

- Understanding DIDComm. A cross-community effort to standardize... | by Kaliya-IdentityWoman | Decentralized Identity Foundation | Medium — If you are reading this, you probably know already what Decentralized Identifiers (DID) are: they are “identifiers” or addresses which can be queried to return some information about the subject represented. The addresses take the form of a long, opaque “string” (a long block of letters and numbers, in this case of a fixed length), and the DID “documents” that get returned when they are queried contain some cryptographic key material and, depending on the particularities of the returning system, maybe a few other pieces of information or addresses.
- Decentralized identifier - Wikipedia — Decentralized identifiers are a type of identifier that enables a verifiable, decentralized digital identity.[1][2] They are an important component of decentralized web applications.
