The web is built on the pattern of servers sending files, or dynamically generated files, around to clients. Those files or programs that generate them always, 100% of the time, reside on servers. It may not be your server or there may be code-less or no-code abstractions but ultimately it’s coming from a server.
Can you elaborate on what you envision decentralization is? I can’t imagine decentralized anything on the web without servers. Blockchain is a distributed database much like tor, right? But those run on servers and one could argue a distributed DB is still centralized just spread out. That sounds dumb when I read it but a distributed DB is treated as a centralized entity, just replicating data. Not trying to be thick or snarky, I just don’t get what decentralized is supposed to look like.
