LN is in my opinion a dangerous way to scale. Don't you think LN leads to big data centers? Why wouldn't the Lightning Network lead to the exact centralization you seem to fear? Big data centers?

Because it is NOT 'one blocksize fits all' and because it is 'dial a centralization' personal choice thing.
Once you have it in your pocket it is out of decentralization concerns. Cause it is only up to you what you do with it. Ownership is maximization of 'centralization'. It requires at least 2 in order to talk about CONsensus. In case of one it is just 'sensus'.
no it does not require data centers. even mass scale payments trusted operator of LN channels is optional to use. AND more importantly as you see LN digests the block size net choking problem with at least 3 orders of magnitude.
