Is cash, which functions in effectively the same way, not usually recognized as centralized?



In this context not at all. No one controls who you give physical cash to. If someone promises you magic beans in a bar and you give them $1000, no one stops you, just as when you control a balance, nothing stops you from sending it to any address you want. I'm not actually sure what part of this is not clear.
