Yeah that raised my eyebrow as well. "Popularized" maybe, but "largely built" I think is a mis-characterization.

"Commercialized" is probably the word you want, and I'd agree with.

It turns out that commercialization is most of the work of creating a globally decentralized system. Which doesn't mean the non-commercial work wasn't critical.
