They dont just not care that it's centralized, that's the only option they would ever entertain. A very sad truth is people HATE decentralization.

no, people hate friction.

it just so happens that most/all decentralized things have more friction than centralized ones.

99% of people do not give 1 shit in either direction of centralized vs. decentralized. they just want an app that is easy and "just works".

People don't hate decentralization itself, they hate the poor UX (and sometimes lack of features) that decentralization usually entails.

I doubt people hate decentralization directly, it's just that the decentralized services out there are difficult to use and lack features people are used to.
