Obviously it is not Bitcoin the way it was originally designed, documented, and presented in the White Paper.

But, it's the way it was visioned;
Satoshi's vision doesn't matter, the paper matters and the quotes show nothing other than a confused inventor who is starting to understand real world scaling problem without a specific plan for addressing it instead trying to justify the situation as being somehow 'normal'.
Come on Satoshi, it is not normal buddy  Cheesy
Get back to your desk and prepare a plan, wait, where is Satoshi?

Centralized pools push miners out of the bitcoin ecosystem by enslaving them, making them work blindly on their stupid 80 bytes block header templates which point to an unknown set of transactions they have no clue about.
I think calling miners slaves is a little bit excessive. Miners can leave and rejoin the pool at their own willing. They're also free to move on a different pool.
No, it is the exact, direct definition of slavery, as miners have no choice other than working for pools, and they have no say on what this work looks like, alienated and powerless, it is slavery. Leaving and joining different pools is not much of an option, let's open our minds a bit more, not everything is perfect there are issues in bitcoin waiting to be fixed for years, let's not posing like a PR agent.

As for the block header, that's what they've agreed upon. If you don't like these rulings, you can try solving a block yourself or work for a pool with much less effort.
What  Huh
Thank you for letting people solo mine if they wish to participate in securing the network as a free/conscious human being, appreciate it, but with less than one in a million chance of hitting a block every 10 minutes no, thanks I'd try the other option, so, what was it?
Gotcha it!
Blindly mining the blocks, the master decided and relayed their headers, ... ok, seems I'm out of options now, let me get rid of this full node I've been maintaining, first.
