i think a hard fork if succed would be a big plus for bitcoin.
It would mean that we can adapt if needed.
The ability to evolve is as important as the decentralisation. natural selection!

Now, of course i also believe that future 1 lead to much more centralisation than future 2.

The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I want a blocksize that allows the average user, with an average connection and an average computer (let's say 5 years old computer) to run a full node.

The magic of bitcoin is its decentralized nature: make it possible only to super-companies to run full nodes, and you will have a new central bank... And bitcoin will die.

I think many bank-like transaction services can be beneficial, since the purpose of bitcoin is to replace debt based money issuing of central bank, not replacing all those financial services. Just like gold, although itself are difficult to move, that does not stop people from building financial services based on them
