You have nailed it. Bluesky weirdly tries to omit that as much as they can, but they do admit in their protocol descriptions that everything goes through and depends on a central server with absolute power.
They also mention that anyone can run another of these, but there is zero chance anyone will be able to do that.

This is an odd claim since it's completely possible today and has always has been. Each Bluesky Relay and PDS host has endpoints that anyone can use to receive network data (post/like records, etc) in a totally permissionless way. A Relay: websocat wss://bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos A PDS websocat wss://puffball.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos And there are additional sync methods as well for doing backfill, etc. Not sure how this could be more open.
