I'm not really for or against it but I would say its being marketed wrong.
The web is a system on the internet.
Web2.0 was a new way for applications on the web to work, namely AJAX.
Web3 is a new place to put the web, but still runs Web2.0 applications.
My understanding is Web3 is a decentralised internet using block chain to encrypt peer to peer traffic. A new internet of sorts but, of course, this needs to sit on the existing internet until it reaches critical mass.
In my opinion Web3 will never reach critical mass but I've been wrong before and I have no doubt I'll be wrong again 😅.

This! I've heard a lot of web3 advocates say things like "web2 was all about centralization!", but honestly all I remember about that era was the transition to rounded corners and AJAX. 😂
Honestly, the branding of "Web3" is kind of a co-opting of language which could be applied to any number of trends.
If I'm remembering correctly, Web2 was the labeling of something that was clearly happening and didn't need the massive hype. Beyond the misaligned incentives for creating hype, in general the clever adoption of this term is one of the weirdest things.
Early 2000s: The web is starting to be used for so much more than just static web pages, let's normalize a word to describe this trend.
Early 2020s: Let's create a word to help bring hype to a trend which may or may not happen.
Software Manager, Agile Aficionado, Tech Dabbler, and Public Speaker. A lifelong learner, the prospect of something new and coffee are what get me up in the morning.

Don't forgot box-shadows. That was an important milestone.
Rounded corners 👐
I just forgive that Web 1.0 gave us Blink.
