This is a key point: VPNs provide an obvious point of failure, and are easily shut down and/or monitored by repressive regimes. The big concern is not that the VPN is shut down, but that those who connect to it are being monitored, and will get a visit from the secret police.
It's P2P so that you have clear endpoints, so repressive regimes can't ascertain whether it's a VPN or not. It's also helpful in that you might well trust a friend in another country over a VPN company.
