Apparently you live in a very rich country and do not know how people live in those countries where the monthly income is $ 100. How many years will I have to starve to buy a miner? Count ...

"One CPU one vote" just refers to voting on the current consensus, regarding the best blockchain. It's not a "vote" in a particularly meaningful or political sense. Miners are just abiding by the protocol, publishing blocks based on rational incentives. You would do exactly the same if you were a miner, so you're really not missing out on anything.

The industrialization of mining just means that for most of us, directly buying bitcoins is usually a better way to invest.
