Ah, so you don't see centralization of a financial network as a problem? But like so many of these analogies they are not 1 to 1 comparisons or else I would just state the situation at hand instead of contriving a similar situation to illustrate a point in more understandable terms.

"Apples are sweet and delicious"

"That's like saying oranges are sweet and delicious"

Consequences for the person doing it.

If you steal a car and get caught you're going to prison on top of other problems.

If you send a transaction with data hidden and get detected/rejected, you've just wasted time constructing such transaction and that's all. No prison, no fines, no destruction of reputation.

Okay dude, have fun with that brain you have.

Both work to reduce it
