As someone who has attempted to follow a few events in this space, there was massive presence of PoW blockchain advocates, underlying assumption that everything is blockchain, ... and it very much felt as if other things were very much an afterthought (EDIT: and sadly such afterthoughts in theory being in the spec but useless/not really wanted is not entirely uncommon in specs). If that was a common impression others got, don't be surprised by the reaction.

As another person who've followed DID closely, where is the "underlying assumption that everything is blockchain" part coming from? The specification has one mention of "blockchain" and many parts of the specification leaves the storage part free for implementors to decide freely how it works.
