Not only that, it's also a source of unnecessary additional fees. Exchanges are mostly non-producing middle-men, only necessary for trust reasons. (They can also be liquidity providers, but generally speaking.)

"only necessary for trust reasons" exactly, and the blockchain allows for trustless transactions. I feel that they will only exist in the infancy of decentralization.

For sure. They are only around as a legacy tech from our previous days of "dumb" financial markets.
