I think this is organizational more than technological.

There are plenty of PoW coins with unfair or absurd distributions, and plenty of PoS coins with somewhat equitable distributions.

Yes, PoW coin emission curves often leave something to be desired, tending to emit too much in the first few years, which leads to some wealth concentration as well.

In my opinion a fixed block subsidy would be most equitable, but that's a very slow emission, taking 100 years to reach a yearly supply inflation under 1%.
