Muneeb from Blockstack here.

Dpage can be easily converted to a Desktop app. Most of the app logic is client-side anyway and hosting at a domain is mostly for convenience.

Blockstack's "centralized servers" doesn't really fully capture the technology at play here. The pointers to user data lockers are stored in the Stacks blockchain, and users can host their own private encrypted data lockers where they want. Blockstack PBC does provide a free service to host data lockers, as a way to help bootstrap initial usage.

It's fine to have some default servers for discovery bootstrapping (as Bitcoin does) but any subset of Bitcoin nodes can go down without the network failing. Is this true of Blockstack? If every Blockstack controlled or financed server went down, would the network continue to work?
