Similarly to I2P, IPFS sites can be relatively decentralized & censorship resistant; so, that & social features, are probably why Veilid was mentioned.
They’re intrinsically more suited to private cliques than public sharing, so I agree that they don’t really replace major public forums like TPB or the old KAT.
That said, TPB’s continual relaunches are about the best a well-known centralized public site can manage, on a system as oppressive as the corporate-run “internet” we have today.
It’s a lot harder to shut down P2P apps & devices, than websites on the clearnet.

Something very similar to what you describe JUST got announced a couple of weeks ago at Defcom in Vegas by Cult of the Dead Cow

It’s planned to have communication features beyond file-transfer, but otherwise I’m not sure what similarity you’re seeing, to what the OP suggested…
