I didn't, the premise that anyone can copy the blockchain and gain access to the assets is flawed. You'll have to look up the Immutable X implementation, it was too long since I read about it, if you're curious. Like I don't think there will ever be a digital version of ownership that isn't "a url" since, well it's digital. The url and wallet is connected to the thing blabla
But you don't own your things. Steam even restricted my access to my things because I hadn't bought anything from their store in an arbitrary amount of time, I bought from other places and entered the cd key. The "web2" way of centralisation is also flawed.
Is it the one and true only answer, I don't know, probably not in its current form albeit it is functional (immutable X). But the arguments against NFTs are mostly against these ducking pictures that ruined any possibility of working towards a goal where we as consumers could get more value.
Edit: appeal to ridicule is also a fallacy
