If ethereum is a fairly distributed coin with limited supply then no-one could argue against it.

This is wrong in my opinion. Ethereum has many issues that are unrelated
to its initial distribution.
E.g. the size of the Ethereum blockchain. It has already crossed the 1 Terabyte mark
and is growing everyday. This leads to an increased centralization, because it
gets increasingly difficult for average people to download the full blockchain simply
due to the disk space requirements.
And this is just one of many other problems.
