It is absolutely time for DEXs to give CEXs some serious competition, along with some reasons to streamline their operations and not just rest on their proverbial "laurels."
But it's also early days yet. It's a nascent industry and marketplace. In some ways, I keep thinking about the early days of the "organic" movement... most people could appreciate the idea, knew it was better, yada yada... but relatively few were willing to seek out a market that had organics ("convenience" and "ease of use") and pretty few people aside from some stalwart pioneers and rabid followers were willing to pay $2.00 for an apple that was $0.50 elsewhere (the "fees issue"). Today — at my local Safeway, which is about as mainstream as it gets — there are a number of veggies where you can't even buy a non-organic version, anymore.
However, right now? ABSENT the allure of the airdrop and the novelty factor... it's just too complicated and too expensive for most people, particularly casual and occasional small traders. And it doesn't work for the small people who just want to turn $25.00 they saved in the change jar on their nightstand into some Hive to power up their blogging account.
In 2-3 years from now? Everything will probably have been tested and tweaked to the point where the DEX systems become accessible to a wider range of users.
