Based on my experience with the terms I'd say Ethereum is decentralized but the ecosystem is federated, but whatever it is is definitely good enough :)

I strongly disagree, but still trying to find the right words. Federated systems are non-fungible feifdoms of participants (usually server silo/client denizens), whereas decentralized systems have interchangeable nodes (p2p, like eth full nodes or validators).
