Bitcoin Cash is not decentralised! ...92% of the blocks are mined by only 2 miners

Bitcoin Cash is essentially not a decentralised cryptocurrency. It is actually 100% centralized.

I've reviewed the last 50 mined blocks on the Bitcoin Cash network (see table below) and I noticed all of them were mined by only 3 anonymous miners. And 46 of the last 50 blocks were mined by only 2 miners (or mining pools).

All the block rewards of the last 50 blocks were going to these 3 BCH addresses:

• 25 blocks were mined by 1Mn8mkxYm6GGcdUH5Ts3XJN4Ujz4CJerbW
• 21 blocks were mined by 1BgatB78WrFLdCgnPnBqiDcNFFA46jkPZe
• 4 blocks were mined by 1KE2oXwNTe7SQ3vi8TpbcAu5AhDYBnviFX

With only 2 or 3 active miners Bitcoin Cash is basically just a centralised database. Mining is a pure waste of energy in this case. In addition, a 51% attack is a serious threat. If a single miner generates more than 51% of the blocks he is able to perform a double spend attack.

Here is the full list of the last 50 blocks:
