Yeah, I think the "ideal" in P2P is for each peer to be equal to all other peers.
I believe they wanted Keet in particular to be as accessible as possible for those who don't have a personal server at home, and maybe aren't interested in having one. That comes with some trade-offs, though, as I mentioned above concerning media sharing.
I am personally quite willing to run a server to host a Keet room that is always online for everyone else in the room, but then we are really starting to muddy the definition of what P2P means. I suppose the difference is that anyone who is a participant in the room can do the same, so there isn't one central server that everyone has to rely on.
