One of the arguments against proof of stake is that those with the most stake maintain power over the system (much like our current financial system) and therefore is not "truly" decentralised.


That’s just one of the arguments. There’s also the Nothing at Stake argument, which argues that stakers can sign/vote for forks, that bad actors can also “mine” in secret. This is impossible in Proof of Work, because miners spend actual resources in mining. Hashing without “work” to use as validation is a flawed concept.
