How is that decentralized with 4(2)ASIC Producers:
- ASICMiner - the Monopoly ASIC
- Avalon - Only 1500 units and no more to come.
- BFL - Not shiping anytime soon.
- KnCMiner - Probably even longer then BFL before shipping.

How is it decentralized with one company producing ASIC to the masses ?_?

Don't forget that Avalon is selling many many more chips to smaller manufacturers.
An avalon chip being around 10$, that's definitely going to be in every hands of the masses who which to.

The current situation is not perfect yet, but things are getting better.
