Distributed vs. centralized VCS has very little directly to do with many vs. monolithic repos. After all, git was originally developed for a project with a large monolithic repo. Distributed VCS and many small repos got popular around the same time, but that's partly coincidental (microservice architectures getting popular, npm community preferring extremely small libraries) and partly because of GitHub making it very cheap in money/time to have many git repos.
