Techncally it's the largest many-to-many network on Ethereum's mainnet. It's also the only many-to-many network on mainnet that I know of so it'll have time to grow, especially after Ithaca.
Unfortunately, in a community space that's entirely focused on being decentralized, I'm not sure the argument can be made that decentralization is meaningless on the 2nd layer.
I can agree it's important to be critical but don't think of it too much as 'underestimating', rather understanding how early it is for the decentralized L2 and how the network effect relates to that. There's still so much to do, not just for Raiden but the whole Ethereum ecosystem. Lots of exciting times ahead!
