It may be worth noting that all the crypto projects compete with each other and consider the others flawed, so it may be unfair to judge the whole sphere by some examples.
There are people who would say everything besides Bitcoin is a shitcoin atm. I personally am leaning towards that stance, although I wish the energy issue could be resolved.
I don't see why NFTs could not simply be "colored coins" on the Bitcoin blockchain?
As for people running servers, I think what matters is the option to run a server if you want to. In EMail most use servers by the big players, but people can also run their own servers.
It reminds me a bit of the counterargument to open source, that "nobody reads the code" - no, but some people can read the code, and if they would find something fishy, they would announce it to the world and hopefully even the nocoder users would be informed. It is still about trust, but people have a choice whom to trust.
