"...the objective of decentralization has been fulfilled..."

That's nothing I have ever said, in the above comment, nor anywhere. In fact, I said "... if this isn't merely an artifact of transition but a durable paradigm shift, it's a dramatic increase in decentralization of stake, which will affect governance."

I don't think we disagree at all, so I'm a bit confused that you seem to take my comment as disagreement. Regarding governance and rewards, stake is what delivers influence on governance. Rewards are how all of my stake has been received, and all of my influence on governance gained. Increasing my rewards will increase my stake, and increase my influence on governance.

That's DPoS.
