The Internet is a network of networks. Among those networks there isn't any central network. That is what "decentralized" is supposed to mean. And while some networks are more prominent then the others the Internet _is_ decentralized.

Services that work atop the Internet are what they choose to be. For one centralized services are easier to code and easier to monetize, so not very surprisingly more people choose to build centralized services.
