Because we do not in fact have consensus on what to say.

Also, if we want to tackle the topic of centralization, it should
probably be best to decouple it from client system architecture. There
are many forces pushing centralization, and it is very unclear that
application configuration is the worst of them. For example, we see many
ISPs subcontracting their DNS services to big centralized providers. We
also see centralization of authoritative servers, with many web sites
getting their DNS services from big providers. We see centralization in
the TLD services, with many TLD registries  subcontracting operations to
specialized providers.

Which means it is probably much simpler to leave the client system
architecture discussions out of the rfc7626-bis draft, and start a
separate effort to describe centralization issues.
