Yes.

A mesh network isnt point to point. Its a mesh.

So a mesh isn't made up of point to point connections? I'm pretty sure if you have several they start to look like a mesh (and every security site's banner)
Sure but I cant communicate with you in a point to point fashion, in a mesh network I am hoping that I have possibly hundreds of disinterested nodes between us. But like, are those nodes coordinating on censorship? Are some of the nodes recording your metadata? Are the nodes incentivized to carry the quantity of traffic you require?

Really the "fix" the ultimate goal has to be direct point to point.

The real internet is made of point to point connections. Doesn't mean anything.
