> Decentralized in terms of many companies making up the internet

Not companies, the protocols are decentralized and at some point it was mostly non-companies. Anyone can hook up a computer and start serving requests which was/is a radical concept, we've lost a lot, unfortunately

No we've not lost that at all. Nobody prevents you from doing that.

We have put more and more services on fewer and fewer vendors. But that's the consolidation and cost point.

May I introduce you to our Lord and Slavemaster CGNAT?

There’s more than one way to get a server on the Internet. You can pay a local data center to put your machine in one of their racks.
That depends on who your ISP is.
may I introduce you to ipv6?
Try hosting an E-Mail Server behind CGNat and send an E-Mail to...anyone really.
my e-mail provider supports IPv6, but I prefer Matrix anyways (encryption)
