The alternative is not “no governance.” The alternative is governance made invisible.
If a small group of developers, maintainers and institutional gatekeepers can alter the protocol whenever they consider it necessary, then they possess control. Calling their decisions “upgrades” does not make the power disappear. It merely gives authority a more fashionable vocabulary.
A decentralised system is not one in which everyone may watch a handful of people rewrite the rules. It is one in which no handful of people can rewrite them at all.
Stable rules force ambition to compete within the system. Mutable rules allow the ambitious to capture the system itself.
So yes, I prefer a protocol that cannot be casually redesigned by whichever committee presently mistakes influence for wisdom.
When people can change the rules, they govern.
When they govern, they control.
And when control is concentrated, “decentralisation” becomes little more than a charming word printed on the chains.
