Not even half of top25 from what I believe mined the coin from early days, not that I even think that matters much any more. My point is many of the ones on your list are long gone and many new ones in the top have bought their stake with anyone having the same opportunities even to do so today.
To be honest, I think even the ones you marked are quite a lot considering the time span of more than eight years.
Then we could argue about who for example "darthknight" actually is (there was this discussion about why he used the same Binance account memo blocktrades did, but well ...)? And how to evaluate the exchange blocktrades.com?
Furthermore, there is my personal 'favourite' ex-bidbot owner and former farmers like ranchorelaxo and trafalgar (did you ever check the disgusting STEEM trending page which he completely dominates)?
Sure, most of the accounts in my list have fortunately left HIVE (which doesn't make them less rich).
I understand what you wanted to say, but I would not agree that these early mining wouldn't contribute until today to a comparable high centralization of power. It is not only that it made these users rich these days but also allowed them to increase their stakes from that starting advantage.
I respect users like theycallmedan or azircon who really bought their stakes.
