Got it, thanks. I'm fully in agreement with you on this, given that you take "decentralized" to imply "uniform (or nearly uniform) distribution of power/influence". As an aside, this exemplifies why I tend to avoid the term "decentralized" in the current context: not everyone makes the assumption of uniformity when they read this word. As a double aside, in case you haven't run across it, I highly recommend this book: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/kleinber/networks-book/ https://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/kleinber/networks-book/
