That's a really good question. I would say yes, although in practice complex distributed designs often don't design or handle for all the failure scenarios.
Eg: cascading performance problems, related failure domains, etc...
Elegant designs are always best!

If Google really decentralized everything they wouldn't be able to track you as easily so I guess that's a factor

Decentralized designs and systems don't necessarily mean that don't interconnect to coordinate and share data ;)
