Are there any developments, decentralized, community own organizations within this space acquiring real-world assets and infrastructure?

I know there are large mining companies and organizations pooling for staking. I know there are thousands of node operators around the world, but I've never noticed whether or not the global community is organizing to acquire actual, physical resources, land, and infrastructure that make all of what we are doing possible.

To me, there are a number of forces from old economy, generationally wealthy and powerful people, fighting against the migration to cryptocurrencies and decentralization. They are fighting in the best ways they know how. They're paying representatives of the people to "regulate"/slow or stop, the migration. They are writing up new rules to an evolving game to insure they will always be able to take a piece of it, as they always have in their old economy. They are strategic, and ultimately, they can always "win" if they own the actual resources and infrastructure that connects all of this together.

I'll give you an example that I've seen more than once from city to city, town to town. Old money, generationally wealthy families that have passed down property and wealth and factories from generation to generation, usually have a seat on city boards, a few relatives in politically powerful positions, and sometimes even blatant clever tactics, like putting a family member in place as the local tax collector. They insure that they always own the most strategic land, properties, businesses, and housing. They raise taxes on everyone else, they write policies that restrict other people from growing businesses (if they can't get a cut through leases or other tactics), they buy up housing when they need to drive more residents into their new apartment complexes, and similar strategies are applied when they need to fill their new mini-mall developments. In short, they own the most critical parts of economies and wield power over the most critical parts of governance of those economies.

So, when we're looking at this global, next generation, decentralized platform, where all sorts of innovation and progress is being made, which we hope will eliminate rent-seekers, middlemen, and all other sorts of exploitation of working-class people that has been happening for generations, are we missing acquisition of some of the most important parts? Does this growing community actually own the most critical parts that make it all work? Do we really think that we could capture a market share or fairly compete with any service of any type against Amazon if X% of the darned infrastructure is running on AWS?
