At the top, sure, but our machines have their own DNS so we could get around the ICANN DNS servers if we told our machines to do so. Is that what ENS is?

One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. (https://ens.domains)

I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.
