RE: One more problem with centralization
You are absolutely right, with the Steem blockchain which decentralized such problems as outages are reduced to absolute zero!

Yes and it works smoothly as long as there is one witness verifying transactions. And we have hundreds of witnesses.
No. Most apps -including Steem clients- are using the same API node to access the blockchain, so it even more centralized than Drive or Amazon S3. There are alternative API endpoints -like the one from Anyx or the one from MinnowSupportProject-, but most developers and extension users are leaving the default value untouched.
EDIT: The API node was incorrectly assigned to MinnowBooster while it was from MinnowSupportProject, as it is listed on the Steem Keychain preferences
