A free market where the government participates with billions in investment and tax cuts, yes.

Your parenthetical is how. It's not completely centralized, but it is being decided by a very small number of people.

It's centralized vs. decentralized not public vs. private. A centralized private planning committee is still centralized.

I think the implied thought (?) is there is a similarity between central planning and oligopoly bandwagoning. To my eye, the causes and dynamics are different enough to warrant bucketing them separately.
