Who decided that decades start at xxx0 even though centuries start at xx01? What were they smoking? Are there only 9 years in the first decade of the gregorian calendar?

It does not matter if the first decade started on year 1. The fact is that the 2020s start in 2020 and the 2010s is over and that is why people care more about this year. It is the end of the 2010s, which is still a decade (ie ten years)
By this definition (i.e. any span of 10 years) every year marks the end of a decade.

Yes, that is literally the dictionary definition. Every *day* is the end of a decade, too. Separately, people have a convention of calling specific decades starting at 1/1/NNN0 “the twenties” or “the thirties”, where “the decade” can be substituted for whatever “ies” we’re in.
