No it isn't. Centralized architectures are centralized not because a Bond villain in his lair wants a stranglehold on your communication but because they are the most efficient. Brittle maybe, but efficient. There's only one possible path that any message can take from spoke to spoke and it's via the hub.
Any other architecture computational power and bandwidth has to be spent on discovering a path first and it grows exponentially with the number of hops required.

this like saying the internet would be more scalable if done through a single company. retarded take
It would be, most certainly. It would also be more brittle but that's not the aspect OP was addressing.
I mean there are so many algorithms to find the shortest path
Not true at all, for example bittorrent scale very well as users increases the uplink also increases, centralised servers can get bandwidth exhausted very fast and lacks redundancy if the network is down.
