Because, despite being wildly impractical, it's technically built on tech that COULD be decentralized. Only recent a new host launched called Black sky. So it is no longer just one host. But it's been one host for so long it almost doesn't matter because so few people will switch.
Doesn't BS have things in it's software that are hard coded to the main server, so it's not possible to make a completely independent host at the moment?
They continue to control 100% of the relays so they can control what servers are connected to the others.
