Distributed databases like git you mean? Even git is no longer used as distributed database, thanks to GitHub.

Git being "distributed" version control is meant as distributed because it doesn't require a central checkout server, and GitHub is simply a distribution (not checkout) server

Yes absolutely, but I meant the workflows most people use these days (PRs) has turned GitHub into a “central” server.

Well it’s still kind of distributed with github because you can still have local branches that differ from the remote.
