Until you have a completely innocent webshop and mostly use instagram for your advertisement and some automated moderation bot nukes your account for lord knows what reason; good luck getting in touch with a human to get it restored.

Until you are just a normal guy, but happen to be Brazillian and some court decides X is no longer a thing for you.

I can go on and on. Now your percecption may very well what you described, does not mean it is correct.
Censorship resistance is not just that things keep working despite someone else fucking you over; it also means things keep working despite someone else fucking up.

Perhaps usefull to put more emphasis on the latter. People might think 'well who would want to fuck me over, i dont need it', but its very clear to people that relying on others not fucking up is a fulnerability they might want to do without.

On its own it is just the more sensible practical way of doing things on a system-level, and as such has nothing do with shady super spy ninja shit, or whatever image 'censorship resistance' evokes in peoples minds, at all; you just want your stuff to go from A to B, thats it.
