For BTC-LTC maybe there are few more alternatives like BlockDX, AtomicDEX (not sure about volume), Atomic Swaps or some centralized swap exchanges like exch.cx.

They don't offer trading, they offer swap. Trading is not the conversion of one asset to another, which is a swap. Therefore, if these decentralized services cannot offer a full-fledged alternative to centralized pairs, one cannot say that one should forget about centralized services and switch to decentralized ones, since the use of centralized services does not always come down to a banal purchase, sale or one-time swap of one asset for another.

People come to centralized exchanges to speculate, not to exchange, for this there is p2p, bridges, or the same DEXs, if we are talking about a swap in one blockchain. Not all DEXs allow you to speculate in the same way as on centralized exchanges, and few people are interested in extra crutches, which is why the popularity of centralized exchanges is so high and will be for a long time. The stories that decentralized exchanges will soon replace centralized exchanges are just as naive as the stories about bitcoin as a world currency in the near future.

People will never trade convenience and speed for the lack of KYC and decentralization. This is our reality.
