I can see that, especially since the term DeFi has been used so much lately that its meaning has started to drift.  That said, every project needs to start somewhere. Usually the descriptions are likely what a project is aiming for, not what the minimum viable product is currently. Right now holding tokens are for those that believe in the project and would like to see it succeed, and to me it would seem the small amount in circulation now are for doing just that. Liquidity on Uniswap is currently locked up, and if more should be needed I suppose they could add to it. However, for average folk (apart from early supporters and pure speculators) the best way to acquire tokens would most likely be to earn them while using the platform, or performing bounty tasks.

The MVP is just that -- to make a product that the community would want to use is one that that same community can be a part of while the meat and potatoes are being cooked. If crypto has taught me anything, it's that your opinion matters, especially when supporting projects being built when you can arrive on-site while they are digging the foundation. Being able to be a part of something and help shape it while it is being built is one of the most thrilling things about this space. Projects that are built more slowly typically have stronger and better thought out first floors to get in on.  Nobody wants to jump into a $YAM ship only to realize that they forgot to seal the cracks in the baseboards because it was rushed out the door.  Let's build this right since YouTube has show us time and time again that it's not about you.  Its more like the royal "we".  ThemTube?   bah.  Let's take back the control we have let slip through our fingers.
