Right. And by the same token PoS absolutely require fancy names like Monero, Ethereum, and Peercoin, and heavy marketing to succeed. Marketing a PoW like Doge gets notoriety, but the notion of actual work kills the romance. Ultimately, future PoS coins will be premined (or pre minted, or pre birthed or whatever) by whatever corporations can afford the best advertising.

I understand the point you are trying to make but you are doing so in the worst possible way by suggesting all those coins are PoS.
Ethereum will be PoW.
Monero is PoW
Peercoin is PoW/PoS
Out of all the examples given you just had to use the few PoW examples which invalidated your argument ?

With all the hundreds of altcoins who can keep them straight? Many of them are hybrids but lean toward PoS. Ethereum waffles but will probably be PoS. I should have looked up the names rather than pull them out of memory, but this topic makes me weary. I prefer to let the market decide.
