>it really doesn't necessarily lead to any kind of true decentralized hosting unless someone else has decided to pin your files

You can either pay somebody to pin the files. Or a public Organization like "archive.org" decides that a site is important enough to pin it. The typical surfer will seldom pin something but can keep low freq special interest sites alive. There is no fee lunch.

With HTTP it has become hard to mirror a modern site. In IPFS it is a built in feature. Makes a better Internet.
