3.0's about blockchain; the problem you're describing is like, late-stage 2.0. not to defend the app fetish or advocate for 3.0 by any means, lord no
It's even more perplexing than that... One version of Web 3.0 is the crypto fantasy of being nickel-and-dimed for every single little thing. There's another, older Web 3.0 concept proposed by Tim Berners-Lee called the semantic web.
we should ban naming things
No more naming things, you were given fingers, use them to point at things.
Ah, the libertarian's fantasy.
Reminds me of this funny short story on the new yorker:

the semantic web is cool as hell. Linked data is crazy useful for old school web surfing and stumbling upon neat stuff.
ur so right; at the same time, locked-down, ad-ridden apps are a very low-effort way for lazy developers to cram as much perceived value into blockchain as possible without actually benefiting consumers
this meme addresses a symptom of web 3.0 rather than the root cause or definition
yeahhhh you're right, i get what you mean
