For what it's worth, this is changing as we speak. ENS recently had a very successful launch of a DAO [1] which will soon be in control of these contracts, therefore making it fully decentralized. It's also already impossible for anyone (not even the root holder, be it mult-sig or DAO) to revoke your ENS registration.
Also, NBA Top Shot is a very cherry-picked example. I'm not even sure I'd classify those as NFTs right now, given they are completely separated from the broader ecosystem and not yet interoperable at all.

- TigeriusKirk 5y agoI have some Top Shot moments, and I don't think of them as NFTs at all. As long as it's locked down on one platform, to me it's not an NFT. The get rich hype seems to be at an ebb with them right now, so I can just play around and collect. It's fun, but it's not an NFT. So far it's a case where I don't think the blockchain is adding any value whatsoever. Blockchain is just a poor fit if you're going to keep it locked down to one administrator.
