The big catch is that bitcoiners do not recognize security that is based on maintaining a loop of sterile, mechanically rigid, clearly understood consensus rules that they can see in the open, as being something fundamentally comparable to security based on trusting other people to be, in the aggregate, slightly more honest than corrupt when working out of sight.
For bitcoiners, the fact that "decentralized" security costs more is worth it, because in their view it is a better quality product worth paying a premium for. A decentralization premium.
