Reminder: the vast majority of users don't care about decentralization.

Developers do! And a minority of ideologically principled users care.

But the much bigger market is solving user problems. And if you have enough users, developers will be willing to tolerate your centralization.

I don’t care about decentralization in and of itself, I care about the things it enables. Owning your identity, interoperability, censorship resistance, etc

If we don’t care about those principles, what’s the point of crypto? Someone could’ve just built a centralized USDC analogue and we would be in the same spot

I totally hear you, but I think it’s a tragedy of the commons situations. People don’t care, fast forward 10 years, and we’re collectively worse off for it

The issue is the people you're trying to get to use the products don't care and are unlikely to.

Except USDC is centrally issued and not censorship resistant. Your funds can be freezed and you can be blacklisted. Also Circle centrally guarantees the usd backup. Users might care about censorship resistance in principle but not necessary know what it is.
