Depends on how centralization is framed. Common CPU company (e.g. Intel)? Common cloud company (e.g. AWS)? Common website company(e.g. Facebook)? If we can separate these terms, I think people are asking to not have a common DB store maintained by a common website company. Framed in that way, we should strive to allow people to store things on their desktop computers and treat them as home servers. For nomadic or not-always-on desktop type, a monetization approach for these decentralized networks would be to resell/affiliate with hosting providers (where the user owns and has the AWS account, not you) and do one-click provisions and what not.
People might re-centralize for discovery, but shouldn't need to for storage or other conveniences. And centralized discovery is not that bad of a problem.
