So which one is it? Pragmatic implementation detail or "out of principle"?
Also, if the author prefers a solution somewhere in the middle, wouldn't the Fediverse be the perfect example? Full decentralisation would be some kind of p2p network or possibly blockchain thing where there are no servers at all. Instead, each server on its own is perfectly centralised, it's just the community at large that is decentralised.
