Maybe it's just me, but unless I'm crazy you've just listed all of the reasons it's actually an entirely workable analogy.

I dont get it- how does lack of blueprints and IP protection apply to blockchain, where all code is public?

Maybe not all of the things you listed, but the comparison to forging your own materials with expensive equipment in a painstaking process that takes a long time is very, very comparable to the requirement web3 places on individuals to invest massive amounts of resources, time, and effort to do basic things that they can do right now very simply without any such obligations. Until web3 manages to overcome these limitations your vision of a future utopian internet where everything is slower and the planet catches on fire won't be adopted by anyone except niche enthusiasts (just like building your own car).
