Decentralizing Identity

Ok, so let's move from a centralised identity (say email) that some people control themselves while the rest majority a big corporate to do it for them, to a distributed identity (that far less people will understand than email) where some people control their own data but the majority will use a third party (like the same set of big corps) to do it for them. Where's the advantage in this distributed system again?
