"Yes, but Freemarkets remember"
That works both ways. In this early stage of crypto, free markets are more likely to reject corrupt systems for those that are less so.
After all, in a corrupt system, quality witnesses will be displaced by rich ones, making the blockchain less innovative, less reactive, less adaptable, less trustworthy, and consequently less attractive to both users and investors.
But like you said, those that own stake get to decide this matter, and they are entitled to do so.
