In any case, I agree with you that Engine can not be considered a blockchain because there is only one node running it, there are no incentives to run more nodes, then it is centralized.

There are no incentives to nodes on Hive either, at least RPC nodes (which is what Engine nodes are). There are incentives to run a witness node, but full nodes are much more expensive and difficult to maintain but there is zero incentive. Every full node on Hive is a blessing.
