No I mean like, centralization is unfortunately the thing that just works.

I work at a company that thinks extremely deeply about interoperability issues and everybody is on the opposite side: it can be said that we were made as a response to xkcd 927, to try and solve the issue.

I think the company is right in that semantic decentralization with interoperability would be a good end goal, but I think just plain darwinism explains the necessity of the opposite.
