The entire concept of the witness system is based on instilling the principle of decentralisation in such a way that consensus can be reached on the content of the blockchain and thus we can rely on the contents of the chain not having been manipulated. If the top witness positions are all controlled then the chain can theoretically be edited and controlled/censored at that level. Anything that limits the ability of any potential witness candidate from being able to rise to a top position, which does not limit SOME of the witnesses is itself a threat to the entire schema.

I don't really understand how you manage to, in every comment you make, twist what I have said into something I haven't said and to be frank, as you have done in every interaction we have had, I feel like you are trolling me.
For the sake of completeness:
You have not been specific when you stated the phrase 'the concept' - so I am not 100% clear what you are referring to. The front end of steemit.com is the primary interface to the steem blockchain currently (in terms of numbers of users). The witness voting page is the only place in steemit.com to make witness votes. Therefore, the witness voting page is the primary interface used to log witness votes.
Steem actions and logs the votes, while Steemit.com is the primary portal for their input.
I do not know what you are referring to there.
Not exaggerations, but provable fact. The only question is whether or not the limitation is deliberate or not.
I have no idea what this means.
I am specifically referring to the witness voting process only, with regards decentralisation. I think you are missing the point.
I am muting you now as I feel our interactions are a waste of my time.
