Coinbase Shows Balance as 0

You assume people buy Bitcoin because they care about decentralization.

That is an incorrect assumption.

People buy bitcoin because they want to make financial gains.

I know that. proving my point further that crypto/bitcoin has nothing to do with decentralization which was the original purpose.

Bitcoin is decentralized and people buying bitcoin for financial gains without caring about decentralization are both true statements.

how many people are doing bitcoin today because of decentralized aspect vs everything else (speculation, get rich quick, make money etc).

I'd say Bitcoin is mostly speculation nowadays. Look into Monero if you want to see true decentralization.
