They won't, because in this case miners will get fired either through PoW change or by users switching to other cryptos or leaving cryptos altogether. Miners have strong economic incentive to obey and they will, provided that economic majority is indeed a super-majority.

Every time reality strikes, there is another proposal to change things. Core can write all the code they want, it still won't change the facts on the ground:

People aren't drinking the Koolaid.
