how "radically decentralized" the development of the Ethereum core is. In the past half a decade only 133 devs have contributed to Ethereum source code. 2 devs have written 25% of the code. The first 10 developers have written 70% of the Ethereum code. Consensus specifications the ones that all the clients implement. Half are Consensys employees https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs

Clients dependent on Consensys core and ETH management repo. A client is just the implementation directed by Consensys written in a different language. Fact is about 10 developers are the only reason those clients will update with staking. https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs
