IPFS is waiting for the use case to catch up. If/when we start to colonized Mars, the InterPlanetary File System might actually be useful. (Only being somewhat tongue-in-cheek.)
Actually, IPFS' network resilience is a great fit for high-latency overlay networks.
I believe that is their point.
Where do you see that?
You're right. I read your comment and thought it was in reference to the thought of an Inter Planetary network, not realizing you were talking about a present day usecase. Sorry.
I've actually heard about IPFS being used by some private cloud/on prem operators to speed up delivery of container images.
