Not only that, but "decaf" does have caffeine in it. It's just a lower dose.

It's enough to wake me up without turning me into a raging asshole.

Unless someone is super sensitive to caffeine (which is a real thing and I'm not arguing that you aren't), I'd posit the fact that you'd be drinking a hot beverage in the morning, and you expect it to wake you up as the reason that it does (mostly a placebo effect). The amount of caffeine in decaf is roughly similar to a small square of dark chocolate, which is unnoticed by the majority of the population. Even so, if it works, it works!

Honestly, the amount is so low that even I- a someone super sensitive to caffeine- can safely drink it without going into Tachycardia. It also doesn't wake me up any, but that could be 'cause I've got narcolepsy; nothing wakes me up outside of heavy pharmaceutical intervention.
