You see no benefit to nearly anyone being able to participate, and discretely mine, on already available general purpose consumer hardware? From that aspect, I don't see how it is not more decentralized.
Bitcoin mining becomes less in reach of the average pleb because of highly specialized and expensive ASICs. Increasingly done by easily targetable corporate mining farms.
I can see arguments for both.
