It's much more than that IMO. Imagine miner capitulation or blackrock captured mining farms. An army of Bitaxes can singlehandedly keep the network running, if needed.

That's a very noble goal and I am fully on board for it, but how many Bitaxes would be required to compete with a mega mining farms if they're captured? Hundreds of thousands likely, (I understand bitaxe isn't the only option out there of course)
I 100% back the concept of decentralised mining for at least your above mentioned reason, i'm just sceptical enough people are taking it that seriously to make a meaningful difference yet... what are your thoughts on that?
I think we have a long way to go
