I think arguing for the centralised option is a bit like arguing for breaking encryption. Sure, it would be lovely if you could give the police / anti-terror / anti-paedophile agencies access with a warrant and leave everyone else alone. The government will insist this is all they want. Except YOU CAN’T DO THAT! It’s not technically possible, however nice it might be. I think centralised apps were the same story. It would be great if you could do it (leaving privacy aside) but... it seems as though you can’t. Or they can’t.
