Wait isn't each collection of 32 eth considered a separate validator no matter the source? If that's the case then wouldn't that mean that coinbase and other exchanges make up the massive overwhelming majority of those validators? If that's the case is it really good faith to claim that there are 400+ thousand validators and then arbitrarily put ethereum in first place?

Chia is famously decentralized when using “number of nodes” as the measure and yet is missing from this list.

You can rank it however you want. The problem with nodes is that anyone can them up cheaply without having any impact on the security of the network.
