Why wasn't the Holy Roman Empire ever centralized?

by arashz02

Now I'm not an expert in history but from what I know in the 12th maybe 13th century countries like france and england were pretty decentralized like the HRE

but what led to the HRE not being centralized the way england and france did? I know the riechreform was about this but why so late?
