From your article:

Indeed there are 169 DID URIs registered.  And more unregistered.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.

The proposed solution using generative DIDs and OCAPs offers some
interesting ideas for addressing the centralization problem. However, it
may not fully resolve the issue, as it still requires trustless
timestamping and possibly the use of potentially centralized revocation
registries. The reliance on light clients for certain DID methods might not
completely eliminate the need for centralized intermediaries.
