Exactly. Centrist is a relative term. That’s why someone from YU can call themselves centrist (YCT on their left, and Popa on their right), someone from Agudah can call themselves centrist (YU on their left and Satmar on their right), Satmar can call themselves centrist (Agudah on their left and Neturei Karta on their right), and YCT people can call themselves centrist (frei Jews on their left, YU/RCA on their right).
Orthodoxy is far too broad and complicated a system to be as neatly categorized and compartmentalized as you would like.
Also, what’s the deal with your constant digs at YCT? I disagree with their hashkafos as well- that doesn’t mean I create entire threads devoted to ridiculing their piskei Halacha, maliciously edit their Wikipedia page to make them look bad, or find every opportunity to criticize/insult them.
I personally am much more worried about rising intermarriage rates, chillul shabbos, and disregard of ALL Halacha by thousands of non observant jews versus a couple dozen YCT rabbis running small shuls that let women lead Kabbolas shabbos.
