The question I want to ask is that are decentralized mixers among. I mean in the court case. Tornado cash is not for bitcoin but at least it is still a mixer but decentralized. Or theymos is referring to only centralized mixers?

When in doubt, just re-read theymos definition of mixer. So if i understand how Tornado Cash works, then it doesn't fulfill requirements number 2.

2. It is possible for the mixer to steal property passing through it. Assume that the sender does everything as correctly as possible. Also assume that no miners/verifiers on the base-layer cryptocurrency are evil. But assume that every other actor involved is evil (everyone able to vote in a DAO, every coordination server, every counterparty, every member of a multisig, etc.). Ignore short-term software bugs which are expected to be quickly fixed.
