What advantages does DID have to something like OpenID? Which is actually decentralised without a central registry.

This is OpenID's privacy policy: https://openid.net/foundation/members/privacy_policy

They will turn your information to the authority when requested. How is that decentralised?

It's decentralised because you can pick up any other provider or even host your own (which I did, until OpenID declined from popularity and wasn't accepted anywhere any more).

OpenID is a standard. Openid.net is one provider not the only provider. You are free to use another provider.
