I am making a point about the governance of the protocol, not the protocol itself. The apt protocol is centralized, but distributed to attain performance at scale. The governance of the apt protocol could be seen as centralized, because Debian tells you which packages are ok, but it is also easy for individuals to switch to other governors, such as Ubuntu. This might be stretching the definition of 'decentralized', but my point is just that it's not a bad thing or even undesirable.
