Just my 2c on this particular point:

I think that a challenge for distributed application is precisely to
avoid any centralized components... or it's not distributed anymore (at
least not fully distributed).

I'm not sure the example is relevant, but if you think about you and me
performing a task, there won't be any physical object that will centralize
information. We are just a fully distributed system that can exchange and
share information, agree or disagree on the way to do things, etc...
The information is not centralized anyhow.
