That is your point of view yes, but what about the rest? Will they follow the people who can secure the network or will they follow the new POW upgrade and take the road less traveled? It will be a hard decision but I think the majority will follow the safer road.
If these people believe in security by being under a racket with full control over their currency, let them have their coin. I didn't need BTC for that.
AFAIC their presence is a liability, if they get to influence the decision process.
