Its never been resolved because people try to have their cakes and eat it too. There's pros and cons to both ways, but people refuse to deal with the cons. Dealing with that in my current org, where a decision was made to distribute a specific subset of responsibilities, and as soon as it gets even a little difficult, they start centralizing again (within that subset), even when there's solutions to the problems.
So we end up in this weird kind of Frankenstein organization, and that's the worse of all worlds.

As a recovering BOFH currently working on something like what the author describes as a platform team... the amount of times I've had developers bemoan the sentinel and other guardrails in place while unwilling to accept responsibility to meet the requirements of the various regulators and stakeholders is very discouraging.
