It’s a fairly common idiom, triggering as it may be. (Personally, I think using “centers” in the above example feels too dry anyway, regardless of what follows.) Here’s Webster’s take on it:
The intransitive verb center is most commonly used with the prepositions in, on, at, and around. At appears to be favored in mathematical contexts; the others are found in a broad range of contexts. Center around, a standard idiom, has often been objected to as illogical. The logic on which the objections are based is irrelevant, since center around is an idiom and idioms have their own logic. Center on is currently more common in edited prose, and revolve around and similar verbs are available if you want to avoid center around.

We can't let the knuckle draggers win.
Can not a circle be centered around a single point? 🤔 If so, does it make the phrase right? Just asking.
