I feel like this is a pretty thin strawman attack. Moxie's core point wasn't that people don't want to run servers, it was that most of the Web3 stuff is heavily server-focused and very little effort has gone into passing these benefits down to the actual users' clients, and the work you have to do on top of a server to make an acceptable UX leads to a centralized to the type of lock-in that Web3 is purportedly about solving.

Quibbling over what percentage of people are willing to run a server seems like a bad hill to die on—the reason Moxie emphasized it was because it should be self-evidently true at this point with the exceptions proving the rule as they say.
