If it has a single point of failure and that is not clearly communicated to all investors in a transparent way, to me that could potentially end up being a scam.
It is not technically a scam but it is weird this happens so much because most people in crypto assume things are decentralized first without asking questions. A lot of that does come down to the investors doing their own research to be fair.
But you are right, lots of projects fail just because of poor management and a lot of these projects were originally intended to do something great but that did not work out. Happens all the time in the real world and it will happen in crypto. I am not denying that.
