> > concerns about the centralized nature of such a storage solution CANNOT be launched by critics: It was their criticism of decentralized storage solutions that caused the shift towards standard trust-based storage solutions, and thus they cannot criticize the move towards the latter. Otherwise, their criticism is not out of technical concern, but out of personal opinion.

The ideological angle in this case is: "N solutions have a mixture of good & bad, but at least one of them is required for system S to function. Critics that criticize N-1 of N solutions cannot criticize the usage of the Nth solution when that is the only other solution left, after catering to their desires for (1...N-1) of N solutions to not be used."
