Steem is at best a bastard monstrosity of decentralization because lets face it because of how things started its all centralized anyway. It makes a good selling point but its not even close to the reality.

This is another reason why I would like to see SMTs take over distribution so that the Steem pool can be essentially locked for development purposes but empower new models.

Thing is if this place launched smooth and professionally it wouldnt nearly be as exciting as it is now :)
