There are cases where you want a company behind a product. Not everything benefits from decentralization.

I agree… for some products, absolutely. But I think there's a distinction worth making.
It's not about decentralising every product. It's about who owns the data underneath it.
A company can build a great product on top of a protocol without owning or controlling the data that flows through it. That's not a weakness, it's a feature. The company adds value through the experience, the interface, the service. The user keeps ownership of what's theirs.
The problem with the current model isn't that companies exist. It's that the data and the product are inseparable. Leave the platform, lose everything you've built there.
Decentralisation isn't the goal… Ownership is. Companies that understand that will build better products, not worse ones.
