Node count doesn't mean a lot unless there's a chain split. A split would require a miner to include a contentious transaction.

Including a transaction that's contentious is a risky activity for a miner as it risks (at a minimum) having their supposedly valid block ignored. Self interested independent actors expending energy (work) is what keeps Bitcoin decentralised not the number of mining pools or validating nodes. Any hashing participant can switch mining pools b quickly with little cost.

Miners mine because they're confident in bitcoin's future value. A would-be attacker really needs to have short Bitcoin exposure or financial backing from someone with a short position. It's exceedingly hard & high risk (expensive) to attack Bitcoin.

The miners don't need to be super decentralised in order to protect Bitcoin. They just need to be decentralised enough to ensure attacking Bitcoin is unprofitable or at least very risky.
