I totally understand the sentiment, but many will have a need to pull, store and share their content outside of Hive as well. This also will motivate people like me who are looking for an automatic or semi automatic solution where Hive (or similar) is the point of origin, rather than the other way around :-)

Also having full control of your own content on your own server is more like web 1.0, all depending on the user of course (backups ++)

In short: I think this is a perfect match between the fully decentralized & the opposite, old style!
