What I find ironic is that github is massively popular as a central way to use a distributed version control system. The distributed nature only adds to the complexity and I am sure it is only used by a fraction of git users.

Yes...? What's surprising about using a central repo to collaborate? There needs to be a single source of truth for a coherent project, otherwise you're just going to have chaos.

The distributed nature of git led to the simple and secure contribution model of everyone working on their own repos and not needing to give write access to anyone else. This pretty directly led to an explosion of open source software.
