In my perception Bitcoin Core is the most decentralized it has ever been since the Gavin days.
I don't think that it matters, because the problem isn't actual decentralization, but an accusation of conspiracy. And that's impossible to defend against. All you can do is not be trapped into reacting to it in any way 1
But I don't think that the "3rd fork" idea that has recently been re-popularized (e.g. #1223880) is such a bad idea; it can help lift some of the pressure and spotlight off of current Bitcoin Core contributors.

I have personally been in that situation - more than once - and I know very well that it truly sucks to have to let the punches land and not hit back in any way. It's also why I am an anon on SN and won't hesitate for a moment to burn and move on if I have to; I don't want to have to deal with that shit ever again on any other project than past ones I still, some days grudgingly, contribute to. ↩

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I am in favour of a future where different clients are in a mad max like standoff, constantly trying to out compete each other, optimising for different use cases and targetting different audiences. It's great to see people seriously thinking about this.
