How decentralized is BCH? And what are some metrics to base decentralization on?

We often hear the argument from BTC that big blocks are at the cost of decentralization. Without turning this thread into a BTC CORE MAXIMAMLIST RETARDED LMAO... Can we answer, is BCH decentralized? And if decentralization is not a boolean true | false - then what is it?

My own opinion is that hashpower decentralization is important for the integrity of the blockchain itself, and being able to verify the chain yourself is important for decentralized usage (not depending on others to use the blockchain). Both are hard to measure - miners can be anonymous - and everyone has a difference circumstance so some of us can run nodes easier than others (knowledge and technical know-how being the biggest barrier)
