  1. It's almost like a mathematical equation: removing the middle men from a financial system increases the relative power of the remaining participants. The ones who already had power (like say, the people controlling the code of a defi system) become even more influential than before. Middle men slow down finance and make it more expensive. But at the same time they add in layers of reciprocity that make it less possible for any one individual (or small group of individuals) to completely control the system.

  2.  @Aaron565  This is a case where you're arguing against something I didn't say. If finance is "centralized" then there are by definition fewer middle men, since all transactions can only pass through one or two.
