Without some way to squash history, I don’t see how it’s possible to fix this. The bitcoin chain is currently 400gb. If we bumped it up to 10mb blocks we would be looking at several terabytes while still not being anywhere near big enough to handle real transactions.

It does not really matter, as only miners (and large buisnesses accepting bitcoin) would need to run a full node.
All these non-mining nodes have no real effect over decentralization, as they can't counter a 51% attack.
