If client nodes are not important why are they factored in in nakamoto coefficient for decentralization? https://news.earn.com/quantifying-decentralization-e39db233c28e?gi=2be913cf8990

Again, you are speaking from a narrow point of view which is keeping systems operational. Decentralization is broader than that, just take a few minutes to read the article.

This whole discussion started with someone struggling to run a full node wallet (daedalus). As an end users if you struggling with a full node, it is better to use a light wallet. That light wallet still connects to a node.

When you use a light wallet that is connected to a full node, you just don't use it. I'm sure they want people to believe that bitcoin is super decentralised because end users are running client full nodes 🙈. But their use is limited and like you say yourself, all it does is verify the chain, it is nothing more than an observer. Decentralisation comes from whether a single or few entities could have an impact on the chain if they were removed. If something is centralised then one entity can turn off or control the network. If something is decentralised the question is how decentralised is it. That can be answered by how many entities need to be removed before the chain stops functioning. If all end users stop loading up their full nodes the chain would continue. If all miners stopped mining the chain would stop and the nodes would no longer sync. How many bitcoin mining firms are there around the world? That's how decentralised bitcoin is.
