While I’m all for decentralization, I don’t really see a reasonable way around this. Someone has to manage the infrastructure, and at a certain scale that’s going to be large corporations. However, as long as these services continue to be interchangeable and unlinked to the fediverse, I don’t see this as too serious of an issue.
@scarecrw@hedge@useful_idiot This, as long as you are not vendor locked it’s fine. I use cloudflare, but I’d have no problems migrating to a different provider tomorrow

This is true, It is much safer to rely on providers at the protocol layer vs the application layer.
