Hmm, I think there is a false binary here. DNS is "more centralized
than some people would like". DNS is also "less centralized than
Google".

That wasn't the question, though -- the question was about why you would
characterize DNS as "centralized" and Google as "decentralized". I
don't think that's a defensible characterization, and in fact is
backwards in spirit.
