As I commented above, from the practical introduction, it says, "Wildland is a collection of protocols, conventions, software, and (soon) a marketplace for leasing storage and in the future compute infrastructure. All these pieces work together with one goal in mind: to decouple the user's data from the underlying infrastructure."

This would seem to make a user not dependent on any one platform to hold their data. So it improves data availability, platform lock-in risk and some censorship-resistance.



When I see that description you quoted, it just reads like a giant string of jargon.

This probably dates me, but back in the day (1990ish), there used to be an application on Mac (System 7 or 8 I think) called the MBA Phrase Generator that would generate sentences like that.
