You didn't suggest anything, you just posted a vague slogan, interpretable in many ways. You "correction" here contains even fewer details. If you want what you're saying to be clearly understood then try putting in more than the bare minimum of effort.
Maybe not what you were wanting to suggest but... yes it is something that would be the case in the situation you suggested, for better or worse, regardless of your intent.
The Decentralized Internet already exists: Mastodon, Tor, IPFS, (gasp) self-hosting, etc, etc, etc, provide the data delivery side and very few things are stopping you from hosting your own splinter DNS servers (or using one of the more-widely-used alternative nameservers) for the name resolution side.
Thing is, despite the fact that that all that (or functionally identical implementations of the same idea) has been around for decades, very, very few people use them.
Honestly, I think it was clear. What's your next best guess after the other users'?
> The Decentralized Internet already exists
In a very alpha stage version, sure. It's currently fragmented, unstable, slow, has limited services and can still be interfered with.
I want something significantly closer to the 'normal' internet, but with a greater capacity for redundancy, privacy and anonymity. This is absolutely possible, inevitable even, but also quite a long ways away.

Linux is a pretty good example of that not happening. Just one particular instance.
