Steem incentives push everyone to vote for themselves. It wasn't originally designed this way. What give Steem its value in $ are the investors and investors are here to make money. That's the root idea behind investors.
I've written about this here. If you want to understand what n2 or superlinear reward are just let me know. I'll try to find something.
