What a bad take.

Who else is even paying out from the coinbase transaction?

Who care? Coinbase payouts are a way to avoid custody risks. They don't make a pool decentralized. If anything they increase the cost for a pool's hashers to be decentralized as during high fees they're wasteful.

Lightning payouts are much more important than to hashing decentralization, as they make it possible for large numbers of small miners to get paid on time.
