A few central relays, yeah that's extremely likely. Nostr.wine is already heading in that direction. That's not in and of itself a bad thing. Especially since the central relays will be surrounded by a sea of competition ready and waiting to take over should the central players start playing dirty.
Similar to how there only a few mining pools with most of the hash power, but the instant any of them act up, they lose all of it as the actual miners send their hash rate elsewhere.
