As neither webrtc nor ipfs have anything to do with the Blockchain I'm guessing your talking about their Ethereum focus and I have to agree. but you have to admit that eth probably sounds like a great idea for non programmers.

Implementing smart contacts that do non trivial stuff is just basically impossible, but it's a very interesting concept to run code if it were.

Non-programmers just don't really realize how error riddled the average software is, so they get caught on the promise itself.
