Multiple DeFi platforms exist. Some are mostly decentralized, others only use DeFi as a marketing buzzword. Some of these are actually centralized, but it doesn't mean all of them are.
In agreement with GP, Solana and other very centralized networks should have to earn their way into the term DeFi. It's hard to quantify but a network that can be "paused" by few devs and relying on the existence of a registered company clearly don't fit this term.
Yeah. I don't get why bother at all with the blockchain when a simple dB would be even superior, then they can prototype away and migrate to decentralized later, if anyone even wants that. Decentralization shares the "weakest link" property with cyber security: you don't get the benefits of you only do half of it.
