RE: Why we've lost the fight?

You are very right about all this.

But the day will come (probably soon) when Internet itself will fall, and all we have here will be gone.

So I’d say to those involved in using/earning crypto - use it, but use it now... and if you can, use this time of comfort and accessibility of everything to train yourself to live in the world where all electronic and satellite communication and information will be gone.
