Hashrate centralization does not put bitcoin in the hands of governments.

But in the hand of a centralize group? Bitcoin mining grows more expensive so is the Bitcoin mined per block reduce every four years
This I believe would continue increasing centralization
Which is somehow different from the goal of decentralization
The poor SNR and abuse isn't unique to Bitcointalk though it reached uselessness earlier than some other channels... I think probably the lack of discussion worthy activity is circularly related: Interesting changes take collaboration, no one will collaborate when all the venues are toxic, without interesting changes there is nothing to discuss except toxic bullshit, wash rinse repeat.
I guess you have been unfortunate to experience or seen this. You said interesting changes take collaboration, does that mean there's like a group that focuses on Bitcoin core developments?
In the case of Halving, I believe what you saying is halving was a way for Bitcoin to strive but not the only way
Bitcoin halving is as shocking as examples above but here is the deal, this shock makes Bitcoin very, very popular because everyone expects price to rise, everyone starts buying and holding.
And then sell after the hype to buy the dip and wait for the next halving
