>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".

True, but I haven't found any good decentralized options for almost anything that don't have enough friction to scare the average user away. I'm talking about decentralized options that are actually decentralized, not "potentially decentralized in theory but no one uses them in a decentralized way".

I do see a future where we crack the code to a smooth flow that does allow for decentralized networks, but it does suck for most people currently.
