Aight, I get it. Bitcoin's a tool, and the people are the ones who secure it and share the risk. If everyone takes on their piece, the whole thing's safer. Word.
Now, I could be wrong, but the way I see it—even with my limited knowledge—the cats who control the hashpower are the ones with the most control. I ain't saying they're in charge all by themselves, but they got the real power on the ground. Theoretically, you can talk about other scenarios, sure. Like, other mining groups (ocean-knots) are becoming a real option cause they're stacking up some serious hashpower now.
But to me, hashpower is the whole lifeblood of Bitcoin.
Just because there are less pools than there are pure economic actors doesn't mean that the group as a whole has more power, it's just that it's less distributed because not enough people have their solar bitaxe yet (hyperbole, but for a reason - block template centralization is an issue.)

See pool share - it's under 2% and it looks like the peaks correlate with people renting off nicehash. I'd be totes happy if Ocean has 10% of the blocks, even if they won't mine coinjoins or p2a. Diversity is good.
