1. Maybe but if that guy and his friends make up the 99% of the network (In theory) Why would they listen to the 1% of little guys running 2 or 3 units at home or a handful in a DC?
Because he and his friends aren't the 99% of the population of the network. They may have much power, but they don't get to dictate what the users will do. If 99% of the users want a change, see SegWit, the miners ought to follow the crowd. Otherwise, they'll mine a currency that has little demand.
I personally don't think that was Satoshi's vision.
Please, let's stop this Satoshi's vision nonsense; that's how BSV, that I know how we all hate, began. It doesn't matter what he might have thought of it.
Besides, he had some other ideas too, with which not so many will agree these days:
New users wouldn't really even need the Bitcoin software. They could download a miner, create an account on mtgox or mybitcoin, enter their deposit address into the miner and point it at anyone's pool server. When the miner says it found something, a while later a few coins show up in their account.
Lol. This didn't age well.
