Jeebus buck this is getting tiresome. Answer the flipping question:
Why do you think non-mining validator count has any bearing on a measurement of 'economic majority'?Read my posts, the answer is there.
Because they can reject blocks and transactions that are invalid on the network. If the miners start pushing their own agenda and the economic majority resists, there is nothing the miners can do but to risk a chain split or follow the network rules.
Is your brain broken? You have done nothing to answer the question. The question is not about miners vs. economic majority. Re-read, absorb the meaning, and reply to the actual question.
Because the more nodes there are, the more node decentralization there is, and the more the network is resilient.
But you believe that only miners should run nodes, right? How is that good for the network where there is miner cartelization?
No. I never claimed that "only miners should run nodes".
