At what point can the average person just visit autonomi.com, download an app and forget everything they’ve ever touched on existing tech?

The company seems to be convinced that Dave, Indelible, Communitas, etc. can deliver security at the enterprise level — a major vote of confidence. The community is, however, comprised of highly opinionated retail end users, community devs and innovators at odds over methodology / ideology. Where is the one button that an average person can click to run a node / browse the new web?
Distributed tech, is likely to have distributed communities and other tech that builds on them.
Maidsafe are (obviously) not building an iPhone and managing the apps that can be used on it. They are not controlling the narrative and nor should they.
However, maidsafe are developing some tooling, which is also highlighting integration techniques and best practices.
As for 1 click, there are a bunch of them on this thread, to get a sample of what the network can do. A few more clicks lets you download a local AntTP (or other apps) for more secure/private use.

The article I wrote in 2021 still reflects my feelings pretty well. They largely align here.
People can and will choose how much decentralisation and privacy they need.
For viewing memes and watching music videos, personally, I don’t feel compelled to hide all traces. The convenience is nice too.
For viewing content that may be blocked by some gateways, or could compromise my legal status, etc, then I’m going to use a local instance and be more concerned about the trail I leave.
For me, Autonomi can deliver across this spectrum. Ofc, we shouldn’t claim that both techniques to access the data are equally private. However, increasing ease of access seems desirable.
Finally, we don’t get to dictate how people use the network. If it isn’t one of us developing or hosting gateways, you can bet someone else will, if there is even a whiff of market fit. The network will extend far beyond this community.

You can browse the web by downloading the AutonomiDweb App. One download, then one click.
That is just you and the Autonomi network, no servers in-between.
I believe adding a node to this would be a good thing, enabling people to earn and then be using apps too, but that isn’t going to happen soon.

So what’s it going to take to go all the way? We’re ten years in. It can’t be that hard.
I was charged twice for the file, the first time it gave an error in Dave that the payment did not go through (but the transaction went through successfully in metamask, I also checked in arbiscan). On the second attempt it went through successfully.

It’s not that hard. The issue is it takes time, and there aren’t many people with the skills needed. I have less time now than since 2014 so 
Putting up a webpage using dweb is simple enough that it is within reach of many here and has been for over a year, but only a handful have done so.

One out of forty-one is in the “interpret as you please” territory, but it makes me confident only for uploading the data I’m comfortable losing (very crypto, haha) or the data I’m willing the keep a copy of (which kinda beats the network purpose).
Will be interesting to see/perform repeated attempts.
