The logic is contract law, because nothing was explicitly agreed to there is no way to enforce or honor things that weren't agreed to.

There is some room in US case law for 'common sense' - let's say, in this issue - https://www.forbes.com/sites/oliverherzfeld/2013/01/22/are-website-terms-of-use-enforceable/#114f6595f4a7
I don't think the situation is clear cut, but I take your point and I don't actually remember whether I was shown a Terms of Service page when I signed up here not.
I might be wrong, but I think that EOS is going to replace Steem/Steemit and I imagine they will be tighter there on the TOS issue.
I appreciate that, however, there is also a caveat which is that space is made for situations where the users of a site, for example, could be reasonably expected to have reviewed the terms of service on a site where they are available.
I don't actually know for sure if the TOS is agreed to or not on signup, because I did it a long time ago - but assuming that they are not then it would not be wrong to say that from a mainstream business perspective, that is a bit of a mistake. I suspect that the heavy assistance they are getting with EOS will mean that there is an agreement to TOS there.
maybe - we shall see
I know dan is against that, but he is working with a lot of others whose views I am not familiar with - generally though it is unusual for such a group to agree to completely ignore legislation.
I have never heard of a large, successful project taking that approach. It will certainly put off a lot of investors.
