A minority failing to impose additional consensus restrictions on the economically dominant chain is not, by itself, evidence of centralized mining. It's an expected outcome when that minority cannot attract sufficient hash power.

If your argument is that mining pools concentrate block-template construction and transaction-selection authority, that's a legitimate decentralization concern. For this reason we now have SV2 and DATUM, these tools let hashers create own templates. But you need to demonstrate that this concentration caused BIP-110's failure, rather than simply assuming that independent miners would have supported your preferred ruleset.
