You have it wrong. You don't need 51% of the total coins to do the attack. You just need 51% of the total staking coins to do the attack(which is much lower than 51% of the total coins).

Thats why PoS is not as secure as PoW.
I did not realize this, thank you for telling me. Well then PoS seems even more vulnerable to me.
