You seem not to understand that Hive governance is controlled by exactly that means. That's why witness votes are weighted as they are, and we can't throw our support behind one, or a few, witness(es) as a group of plebs. Whether it's 100 phat stacks agreeing to support a slate of consensus witnesses, or one phat cat buying the Founder's stake and doing so alone doesn't change the mechanism.
We can only vote in a consensus of witnesses because of how witness votes are weighted, and the hoi polloi cannot counter the oligarchy by infiltrating dissenters into the consensus.

"You seem not to understand..."
Where did you get that idea?
