That's kind of a shame, the appeal of a public, peer-to-peer, content-addressable network was very high to me personally, because of its relative uniqueness. For a personal network, IPFS becomes just another technology I could deploy, out of many options.
Yeah, definitely I feel the same about the public parts, but I still find the public-but-private network part of it useful in itself. Both have use cases, but currently the public one just isn't feasible to use :/
