I see your points (though I don't fully agree). Most of these relate to a "central search and discovery service". this doesn't need to be coupled with the rest of the network functionalities (posting content or interacting with content), which I personally believe is better fully distributed (for similar reasons to what you mentioned). We've done this for the internet as a whole (anyone can bring up a website on their own, search engines will discover and index it, but the search engine space is as centralised as it gets), so I believe we can do it for more "social" content as well.
