Going with your proposal for a decentralized Airbnb/Uber -- how would you handle dispute resolution and trust mediation without a centralized authority in an IRL setting, off-chain? If you have a bad actor in the system, how would you screen/remove them and conversely, how would you prevent abuse of the screening mechanism you propose? Relying on the blockchain as a decentralized database/audit record is one thing, but I think IRL enforcement and mediation of off-chain matters are critical prerequisite matters that need to be addressed before these types of marketplace businesses can even be considered feasible as dApps

All of this will be tokenised piece by piece, until the application will just be blockchain running top of blockchain. Look at something like Hypersign which is trying to solve identity and reputation for crypto.

There are already hints of how this will happen in DeFi. Protocols interact with protocols, smart contracts with smart contracts, until suddenly you get a full stack and the application layer becomes inevitable.
