There may be safer theoretical options (or very limited deployed ones). But our society is increasingly reliant on the centralized networks.

"Yes I'm on the internet but I don't use email, Facebook or any other service that you use, I only accept hand-crafted UDP packets on port 12345 to my static IP..."

But to your point, I think this has created a void that P2P protocols can fill, and I certainly look forward to more solutions that actively follow the Internet's original decentralized vision instead of "client-server-over-decentralized-network" that we have today.
