Certainly it is not 100% decentralized. The word decentralized is often misused. Even Bitcoin is not 100% decentralized. But I believe in those who try their best to decentralize as much as possible with the existing resources. This will take a long time and may never be 100% decentralized.

I've grown to loathe the word decentralized. It's become a religious term, and people have broadly forgotten what it's meant to be in service of -- if they ever knew in the first place.

I agree 100% but this is what humans do to just about every word/concept/etc.
e.g.:
  • Libertarianism, Anarchism, Ancap, "voluntarism".
  • Statists talking about "freedom".
  • Pretty much all religions.
  • etc, etc, etc
