because miners are the ones making the templates. it's as simple as that. decentralized reward coordination is a separate issue and utterly irrelevant to Bitcoin, regardless it is being figured out but it is extremely difficult to manage in a scalable way.

I love making my own block templates using DATUM.
Just because they make their own templates it doesn’t mean mining is decentralized. What if my template asks for the full reward your node won’t grant me that You can still reject those self created templates. Because your Ocean node finds the block and broadcasts it to all the miners connected to your node. Ok let me ask you like this: when you remove Ocean - who coordinates the split?
