  I think V2V/V2I still make sense because of the extra bandwidth that can be used:

  Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
  —Tanenbaum, Andrew S. (1989). Computer Networks. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall. p. 57. ISBN 0-13-166836-6. There's a lot of band-width in a station wagon.

  the DNS system was a replacement for the hosts files witch FidoNet still uses.
  the Internet Engineering Task Force knew there was going to be to issues, but because the internet was small and there were not any bad actors in the 1980s. if we go back to the host files setup say hello to the yellow pages phone directory my feeling, the next generation of the DNS system will be built upon a Distributed hash table

  Re:

  the problem with blockchain storage and transferring:

  • 7 billion people
  • 256 characters for a domain name
  • 2 bytes per character for Unicode

  (7,000,000,000x256)x2 byte = 3.58400 terabytes of storage and the blockchain has to be transferred within 2 minutes window or the node is out of sync with the network 25.08800 zettabytes of data to transfer globally to 7 billion people

  Re:

  Realistically, it would have been near-impossible to get millions of people to start their own web pages

  "A: There are historical precedents for this question: Is everyone going to want to run their own personal computer?
  Is everyone going to want to run their own (cell) phone (number)?
  The answer used to be no, until it became obvious that the answer was yes. Currently not everyone wants to run their own website, partially because it's not clear why, and partially because there's no one-click-install for the IndieWeb. We're solving both of those problems. For now, those who want to run their own sites can, and those who don't want to don't have to. There will be network effects (e.g. with peer-to-peer federated indieweb comments) as more people do so in the future. But the great thing is that if you are publishing on your own site, you are getting an immediate benefit out of it now (extra control and flexibility), and are still syndicating to existing social network silos like Twitter and Facebook." - https://indieweb.org/FAQ#Is_everyone_going_to_want_to_run_their_own_website have a look at the indieweb project
