> Linking NFTs to real assets also shows promise.

No it doesn't. I wouldn't want my house tradeable on NFT's and it causes more problems for something that's already been solved.

Like crypto coins it lacks a central authority and legal consequences. It's a nice fantasy though.

Additionally, there are plenty of marketplaces to sell products and services. So they aren't solving any problem.

No Amazon that is doing a lot of real world marketing and spending money for that will give much "power to others" that won't help them succeed ...

Ever.

At most, if any would really get popular ( i doubt that), marketplaces will drop their rates and that's it. But this ain't a replacement for eg. The app store either. Since the delivery of a product or service is the easy part. There's a lot of functionality not included in NFT'S, eg. Update of Software or screenshots from a computer screen to proof they spend 10 hours on the service.

All there is now, is a link to an URL...

It's the whole blockchain vs crypto thing. If there idea becomes interesting, it will be developed per country, will not be decentralized or based on top of ethereum.
