Is there any reason to suppose that such "centralised decentralisation" wouldn't end up with a small number of entities managing the centralised control planes thanks to economies of scale?

Since devices can be owned by the user, a range of business relationships are possible. Some data on the user-owned device can have a different legal status than data owned by a central provider. E2E encryption and separation of ownership can exist alongside capital-fueled consolidation of data.

It's not necessary for edge devices to "win" against centralization, only that they exist and are sustainably funded.

Microsoft, HP and Dell/VMware have device-as-service offerings. There can be many permutations of control planes between local and central, or even regional.

It would absolutely end up that way but that's OK as long as the "rebels" can still interoperate.
