"...it'd all balance out."

Clearly they don't seek balance, but to heavily weight the balance in their favor. I have advocated in years past that means of reducing the weight of stake on governance be implemented, to prevent plutocracy from being the only possible form of governance on Hive (then Steem), but my suggestions were hand waved away, and Steem became exactly the plutocratic tyranny I sought to prevent.

Hive awaits that development, and endures the preparatory softening up in the meantime.
