I guess I don't understand why their is an issue with one person being able to contribute to a network more than another person if they are contributing more computing power?
You are asking why we try to build Proof of Person (breakthrough technology) that can be actually scalable, honest, fair instead of burning earth supply just to guess random number faster than others which will allow us to mine block? This computing power is not doing anything more. Idena is the most decentralized project with the most fair mining structure and still only few knew about it. If it will grow to top 100 CMC we will have 100 000 nodes. Can you imagine network that has 100 000 equal votes?
