and zero of those people think that datacenters should be abolished.
Wrong. I am one of those people who believes in individual freedom and believes most datacenters should be abolished.
If you host from home and you don't use a small VPS to hide the origin IP ... Anybody can just find out the general location where I live down to a few miles.
Also not true. That depends entirely on if your ISP publishes location data or not. My ISP does not publish this and you can not find the approximate location of my home IP.

Alright, then how will you deal with the few tier 1 ISPs. They surely care about your individual freedoms and will definitely not nullroute your AS/send angry emails to your ISP when they don't like you. That definitely never happened. Oh wait, HE did that to KF.
Of course I'm completely ignoring the fact that you need peering exchanges and those all live in DCs. Anyone that says most DCs should be abolished has no idea how the Internet works. Because it's not just about you and your freedoms, but about everyone else and there are many completely valid reasons why you would want to collocate in a DC.

Doesn't really matter. You can approximately get the location by timing routes from multiple places and looking at the last hops. That will get you close to the NAT at least. My GeoIP ranges from the same city to a place 80+km away.
