I think where you are misunderstanding (or disagreeing) is what is a “ritual”, and it’s due to the nature of Judaism since the Romans destroyed the Temple.

You are interpreting “ritual” broadly. If, for example, one considers every bris a “ritual”, then, sure numerically, many more “rituals” have always been held outside the Temple.

If you are interpreting “ritual” in the more traditional fashion to mean the Aaronic duties of Passover sacrifice and the like, then, no, Jerusalem has always been the center.

Then stop trying to compare them, sorry you cannot handle disagreement or historical facts.
