The hard fork exposed how centralized this supposedly "decentralized" platform really is. If I was the lead on a platform like Utopian or Dtube when this happened; I would already be looking for ways to completely decouple my system from steem.

In the corporate world, when a company releases a patch that causes their clients to lose this kind of revenue; usually one of two things happens. The company rolls back the patch until they can fix the problems or the platform is abandoned by the clients and some of them seek reprehensions via legal channels. If the platform wasn't masquerading as a decentralized system then I'll bet that some of these companies would be seeking liability damages.
