Convince me: what are the advantages of dapps?

The only advantage of blockchain is decentralisation. They only difference between a Dapp and an App is that the Dapp is decentralised. The fact that Ethereum has, and continues to grow in valuation and adoption is because the consumer wants decentralisation. The technology behind it doesn't matter; most people don't understand it, but decentralisation does matter.

Eventually the capabilities of Decentralised networks and Dapps will advance to the point where there are no trade offs in comparison to centralised apps. When it reaches that point it doesn't matter whether the consumer cares about decentralisation or not, because they won't be able to tell the difference between a Dapp and an App. Decentralisation will be default.
