All of your arguments sound valid to me, but then I imagine applying them to blogs. Blogs won't work unless they're all on a centralized controlled site. Yet Technorati and Google Blog Search work with the decentralized Web. I can imagine an alternate history where instead of Flickr we got "Flickrati", a photo aggregator rather than a photo host. Of course, in actual history Flickr came first and it's not clear to me that it's possible for a decentralized "Flickrati" to compete.
