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. 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.
