I see this as a problem with trust. Decentralized systems require less trust for them to work (think consensus mechanisms) but ironically users today don't trust the tech because it is still early IMO, centralized systems need more trust. People these days are using centralized systems because they trust the centralized system (FB, Google) more then the decentralized tech.

I agree and think the solution would be to go back to a web-of-trust scheme where identities are transitively validated and reputation used to ensure well-behaved operation.
