People have never really bothered to care about decentralization, but that's slowly changing now with how exchanges are being subject to regulations forcing people to verify themselves. It's something that will lead to a faster level of develoment of decentralized exchanges, and thus more adoption overall. It's a process I highly welcome because exchanging funds in a truly decentralized manner with the highest level of convenience is the ultimate goal.
I can see an entire decentralized world economy emerge where governments can do shit. It will be the moment governments no longer treat you as their money slave, but as actual citizen with complete control over every aspect of its life. I know it's somewhat of a fantasy right now, but it's not impossible. This is exactly why I won't ever sell the majority of my coins. It's all or nothing for me.
