> Look at email, while the protocol is technically “decentralized”, but look at how big Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 is. Sure, you can easily set up an email server on a $5 VPS, I do it with my domain, but most people just leave it to big providers. Web3 is no different.

This is an interesting argument to make but I wouldn't say having large subsets belonging to single entities equates to it being "not decentralized."
