This is the very same song I have been and am singing... In fact I've been singing it with my fingers strumming the keyboard too:
But there is still lots and lots of work to be done on the backend. To really make this work, people need real reasons to go through all the steps required to actually create a hive account. But, with a good enough reason, they will, and they will even happily pay for it. Splinterlands demonstrated that very well.
In fact, in today's world people have become particularly suspicious of anything 'free'... as it feels like a trap. It feels that way, because it usually is.
But these things don't build themselves, and while I am working on a plugin to include creating a hive account as part of the wp registration process... (It will actually be a woo commerce 'add on' product)... I have run into lots of time constraints.
Things like this don't pay for themselves either, they take a lot of time, a lot of skill, and only provide indirect foundational benefits (they don't make any money by themselves).
But, since your singing the same song, maybe we can make a chorus out of it...?
Hit me up on discord if your willing to help drum up a baseline of support for this. Like a proper wordpress dev (I'm a network architect in real life and only play a dev on the weekends.)
Cheers,and Merry Christmas! 🎄⛄
