> public coins in the sense of government backed currency and we get private coins in the sense of company backed currency

We don't call them that because blockchain (as originally intended) should be not be company backed.

Ignoring that with its 70% premine, ETH significantly deviates from the decentralization ideal, Bitcoin and Ethereum together do form the huge majority of the cryptospace.
