Why People are so concerned about HDD capacity? We have pruning already, a pruned full node works just fine.

Pruning works just fine. I think we have fundamentally different concepts of what true decentralization is; which is for everyone to have a copy of their blockchain for me as we're touching on the topic of decentralization. You may correct in your own right and I can't really dispute that either.

Decentralization is not an ideological belief nor a partisan talking point, it is about math and engineering and your one-person-one-copy idea is not supported by science, it is just a slogan, a misleading one, to be specific.

I'd prefer having more nodes with the entire blockchain rather than nodes which only stores the last few GBs of the blockchain which really wouldn't benefit the network more than the others.

How is that? Pruned nodes "benefit the network" just like any other full node, with just one exception: they are not helpful with the stupid bootstrap process in the current (experimental) implementation of the protocol, nothing else, not a tiny bit of any sign of being inferior compared to a historian full node ...
