I think it's more accurate to call them "digital goods", because IMO what enables the less than near-zero marginal cost (I consider them negligible costs) is the digital nature of the "merchandise"
(a jet engine is a technological good, but it is material, not digital)
other than that, I completely agree. The trend towards centralization comes from the economics of the market (not from the nature of technology)
