I've been doing system design for about 10 years and I can understand your
initial response.
I have to disagree with you, though. Surely decentralized adds an overhead,
but in its place it adds replication, redundancy and very cheap expansion of
capacity.
Remember when we went from single-core CPUs to multi-core (and
hyperthreading)? Developers were saying it was useless because all apps were
still single-threaded. And now, 15 years later, there are fantastic
frameworks to make this easy.
Same will happen with distributed. Any assumption you wrote above is not
inherent in the technology.
