Centrally hosted data storage may have better availability, but the cost is prohibitive. A home user today stores lots of large movies and photo archives which is better stored on the cheapest storage there is. There are plenty of good remote backup systems and users could even backup other users' data, which is where projects such as owncloud can help.

Yes, as soon as you go over the 50GB limit cloud backup space starts to cost real money (at least for endusers small budgets). Being able to plug a cheap USB disk into your WLAN router and use that as webdav is nice and cheap if you can live with the kind of reliability it gives.

Isn't that what things like Wuala do? a P2P backup sytem?

According to wiki, the p2p aspect is being discontinued. And it was and is proprietary, and therefore untrustworthy for encryption.
