It's not a problem, you can easily use other node. Bad centralisation is when you have no much choice but to use the selected central node or one of small group.

But it is a problem. What are you supposed to do when you've opened a payment channel to a payment hub and they become unavailable? Close the channel to free your funds and open a new one to another hub?
Remember that the funds are locked in that channel. You can't use them in another one until the first channel has been closed. Like I said earlier, the transaction fees will make people create as few channels as they possibly can.
