Yes, because DeFi never suffers from collapses or hacks. Nobody every drained a DAO with a flash-loan, or used one to cash-out illiquid assets with no intention of paying it back... DeFi is as much of a joke as the rest of the ecosystem.

Different category of risk.

CEX and DEX can both have hacks. An open source DEX can be verified, formally tested, and made immutable and un-upgradable on chain, like Uniswap.

Uniswap V2 contract is 2 years unchanged, $3.8B TVL and $1B daily volume, close to 10 year old Coinbase CEX. Not bad for being a joke.
