You should research it.
It is quite an important aspect of coins.
Everything you've stated is fairly obvious, and I have looked into premines, airdrops, and alternate ICOs. 'Some people' believe a lot of things, but the truth is that it costs money to maintain these massive networks, and ensure (to their best ability) there are no breaches. As a new coin that has received as much attention as it has, it has so far not shown any lack of security or developers with ill motives.
And the ICO is camouflaged as a huge premine given to investors.

Coins held by Company 0 will be used to fund its ongoing work on open-source projects, such as Decred and btcsuite.
I don't understand what you mean by camouflaged, they practically come out and say that is what the premine's for - funding the developers, as are most ICOs. As I said in my post, the developers claimed that they won't touch the premine for 1 year, using it only for PoS. You really didn't explain to me why people dislike premines then "because some people do". It seems that you are trying your best to bash on Decred, any particular reason? It's nothing new, we get it, and it's obvious that the developers didn't walk away from launch penniless, but it has reputable developers and despite opposition it is succeeding.
