I think a case could be made for bitcoin being more decentralized than eth. Power and decision making for btc are split between developers and miners, while all decision making aspects of ethereum are heavily centralized within a power structure consisting of one man: Vitalik Buterin. Sometimes I get a feeling the media pushes an agenda in terms of it redefining topics in a way which convinces the public bitcoin cash and ethereum are the future, while hating unfairly on bitcoin.

Is ETH more decentralized than BTC? What do people think about this?

Well, I feel that there are several aspects of decentralization. ETH mining is more decentralized for sure, but maybe development and decision making is more centralized. I think that Ethereum is developing much faster, if some centralization is a con of fast development, it's fine to me.
