Nice to see you're beginning to understand the problem. You still have a ways to go, but I think you've reached the opinion I had in about 2016. Maybe in another half a dozen years you'll start to see that you're actually contributing to the problem and begin working to fix the trust system instead of trying to empower those who are actively destroying it in order to maintain some form of control even though their lack of actual interaction trading and working with users makes them unfit to carry such responsibility.
There are multiple ways to abuse the power of being on DT. For example there are those who frivolously red-tag members for petty offenses, and there are those who include every newbie who's ever left them a good review into their trust list. Both are equally damaging to the reputation and usefulness of the trust system.
