Also helping the decentralized side is the fact that area denial weapons are becoming much cheaper. You can see this in the US's analysis of Iran - after seeing Iraq get pwn'd it has adopted asymmetric warfare that allow it to strike US warships and airbases from afar making it difficult for the US to attack
