Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but aren't these only partially decentralized?

While GUN seems to be a p2p system, both those applications are single points of failure due to each being hosted on a single domain. Are there additional ways to access the same content?

Both those apps have multiple other peers running it, they're also open source so you can run one, AND the browsers also contribute storing/serving data!

What we'd like to see next: Browsers natively supporting more P2P tooling. WebRTC still kinda sucks. :/
