It makes the web distributed and unhosted. Any data of any web app on dat can only be owned by individual users by design.

I think you mean https://beakerbrowser.com/ -- Dat is for sharing (mostly large) files afaik. And for unhosted apps accessed by Beaker browser, it's about hosting the assets, not the user data.

Still has unhosted properties, of course, just clearing up that it's not about personal files in unhosted apps.

IPFS is suitable for sharing large immutable files (URI is hash of file's content). IPFS is very great at caching.
Dat protocol is suitable for sharing mutable files (URI is public key), working like a signed, versioned filesystem.
I think Dat is worth mentioning.
