If you want to generate interesting questions about decentralization, just stare at how modern BitTorrent works and try to explain why the tech/ecosystem are the way they are. I'm still struggling to construct a full narrative

I think the claim that decentralized search was just a worse experience is a decent default assumption if for no other reason than creating a good decentralized UX seems to be an order of magnitude harder than an equivalent centralized system.

Distributed systems throw out a lot of the assumptions that make for good user experiences- e.g. you don't have a bounded amount of time before seeing search results, so things have to trickle in out of order.

Yup. I also think it that completing 80% (as in 80/20 rule) of a product for a centralized app is pretty usable on avg, maybe a bit buggy. 80% for a decentralized app is mainly spent on getting it to work securely and the UI doesn't get enough attention (Tribler may be a good ex)
