I see this repeated a lot and IMO it's simply not true.
The main decentralized advantage of Git is that you can continue to do VCS operations without network access or access to the remote host.
Most of what Github does is managing collaboration. The only thing we've "thrown away" by using Github is the email based workflows or directly pushing git branches to various hosts. But unless you're gonna have team members SSH into each other's machines you'd still need a central repo somewhere.
