The greatest centralizing force in crypto isn't an exchange or a regulator. It's the RPC endpoint.

We built a decentralized network of thousands of nodes, only to have 90% of users trust a single company like Infura or Alchemy to tell them what the state of that network is.

Your "decentralized" app is making a centralized API call.

Actually, the RPC would be fine, but the Ethereum core devs are sadly not alright, because if you could at any point in time quite easily switch from Infura to an Ethereum node that you run on your virtual private server, then for the entire time until Infura goes rogue, you could use Infura, and then at the time of when they rug you on the RPC, you could switch over to the full node. However, running a full node has been made more and more and more complicated by the researchers and core developers, and it has become more and more costly, and guarantees have been stripped from it as well, such that I think nowadays probably no application whatsoever can just swap out their URL and still function, which in my opinion was the entire point of Ethereum.
