>>We don’t really have any concept in our popular awareness of hierarchical structures of government which were either situational or where recall was really easy and power was only concentrated as long as everyone else wanted it to be...<<

That's because our popular awareness has been overwhelmingly influenced by the hierarchical power structures that wrote history.

>>...which is why a lot of people think it’s a binary between “hierarchy” or “no hierarchy” as opposed to a continuum or something with a lot of different options.<<

By "a lot of people" I think you mean most anarchists, not people in general (who mostly have no clue). As a student of anarchism I do think there is a pretty clear line between “hierarchy” or “no hierarchy”, it is not a spectrum.
