He is just pointing out reality. Decentralization is really just a
collection of centralized processes. If you ever want to change anything
someone, somewhere has to make a decision.
Satoshi was the first dictator and he set the consensus rules for his
version of Bitcoin and that is what people accepted. Those rules did not
appear by magic nor did they appear via some unexplained 'consensus'
mechanism. He made decisions and updated the code or accepted updates
made by others.
