People don't care about whether their tools are decentralized or centralized (apart from a few principled individuals). They care about the UX of the tool, and so far centralised options have won on UX. I'm not sure how much of that is due to being centralised, rather than being due to companies investing in UX to gain market share preferring a centralised model.

Ofc centralised/decentralised is also part of the UX (what happens when the centralised service goes down), but so far it's not been a net win for decentralised.
