That's a false, uh, decachotomy (?), it doesn't have to be a centralized organization of any kind at all

It doesn't have to be, but things seem to be inevitably gravitating towards a centralized model because it seems people care the most about their User Experience and everything else is secondary (privacy, monopoly, monoculture, worker abuse, etc).

I think the parent commenter wanted to emphasize that there are more than 2 options (di- = 2, deca- = 10) to choose from...

But false decachotomy would imply there are more than 10 options. Seems weirdly specific.
