You seem to be the one most engaged in this particular argument. But yes. Yes I do like to argue.

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

It’s possible you missed some of the particulars of the Freddie Green stylistic stuff. He likes to fret larger chords but mute several of the strings so that only one or two notes fully sound.

Wow, you really like to argue, don't you? Again, you're entitled to your opinion, as is everyone, but I have heard of quite a number of people who have posted just ONE VIDEO on the Internet that...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

And what to call it if you double the root? For example: D-D-G or D-G-D. Debussy liked that sound, used it in pieces such as Clair de Lune.

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?

There's no such thing as a 1 note chord. Or, a two note chord for that matter. We're talking about Rhythm guitar. Look at my last video. That's a PERFECT example of four-on-the-floor rhythm...

Yes, to play a full drop-2 chord, everything is on concentric strings. BUT we are talking about 2 or 1 note chords for rhythm guitar in this thread. You can't play a 2 note chord with 4 notes, so...

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?
