I'm glad the hard fork happened, because it makes clear and public that there is no "coding around" the possibility of human oversight. Better for that to happen early than late IMO. And people sure still seem to be onboard.

It doesn't make that clear at all. It just makes clear that the Ethereum community is committed to profiteering rather than decentralization.
I call it decentralization when a huge number of people must agree so the unethical taking of the money is reversed.
You're describing democracy, not decentralization. Democracy is rule centralized in the majority.
