You said it yourself: "distributed around the world". The same data on hundreds or thousands of nodes is how every centralized database works in modern era.

Thousands of nodes hosting the same database = centralized and distributed. That describes the data layer of Facebook or Twitter or Bitcoin.

It doesnt even make sense to speak of " a" decentralized database or ledger in the singular. If its decentralized, its a plurality of databases or ledgers, none of which have all the data or constantly sync up to the same authoritative global state.
