I feel like the recent 51% attack against Etherium shows that seizure and censorship proof isn't strictly true.

Note that there was a 51% attack against ETC which is not Ethereum (ETH). ETC already had very little usage and was known to be insecure before the attack.

Probably less than 0.001% of the population considers ETC to be the "real Ethereum"

That may be the case but don't pretty much all coins have this potential issue?
