That's like saying "Open Source" won't work because I don't want to be my own maintainer. It's not about one person. You not wanting autonomy or being your own bank doesn't matter. People on coinbase aren't their own bank either.

People on coinbase are also throwing away a large part of what supposedly makes cryptocurrencies valuable. They're essentially day traders.

It's not like that at all, and cryptocurrency systems, as you so ably point out, are already tending towards centralisation.
