Because blockchain and web3's only uses so far have been for grifting and scamming: creating artificial scarcity by fiat (e.g. "cryptocurrency" and web3) or beanie baby style bubbles (e.g. bitcoin), and then usually ending with a rug pull (examples too numerous to list). Coupled with the disastrous environmental impact and the constant ponzi touting, it's pretty reasonable to expect that most sensible developers would have a strong negative reaction.

I've heard good things about filecoin, but i haven't looked into it much.

From what I've read, you get paid filecoin for reliability storing and serving files on the network (Dropbox but decentralised)

Building a storage provider for filecoing isn't as easy as it sounds.

Minimum req is 8+ cores, 128Gb++ RAM + 256Gb++ NVME, and on top of that you need to buy filecoin in order to start providing storage as you'll need to stake it or something like that.

Their block history or whatever they call it is alone around 100Tb which you also need to be storing.
