#Bitcoin has 1 client: Bitcoin Core … and it is extremely decentralized. Differing clients with changing rules create confusion. An ultimate client is only a central point of failure if its development is centrally controlled (closed-source, unforkable) and access to it is gatekept (Apple AppStore, etc.).
More clients doesn’t mean more decentralization… the distribution and Sybil-resistant discovery of the data itself is what defines decentralization.
