No central authority within the system. Treating the hacked crypto as stolen property to report to a central authority who can use the threat of physical violence is not incongruent with the current defi system. Its a false dichotomy presented by those naive to the pros and cons of all this.

Ideally governance would also be done in a decentralized manner, but we’re not there yet.

It's completely incongruent. The whole point of "decentralized" is to avoid relying on a central authority, and the price to pay is inefficiency. But if you're relying on a central authority anyway, why be inefficient?
