People seem to conflate a whole bunch of things with decentralization. It is not a 'keep data secret', 'avoid centralization', pick one type of thing. Decentralization is not web3, it is not blockchain. It is: Avoid having a central point of control in the system. Facebook centralizes both the servers, and the corporatation that controls the systems, for example. 10,000 blogs run on different servers by different people are decentralized. Better example: email. Decentralized protocol and has the ability to keep information private for one person.
