Let me ask you a question lad. What's the difference between:
A bank with only 20 stakeholders controlling everything within the bank.
A Blockchain with 20 consensus witnesses controlling everything within the blockchain.
The only difference is, with being a stakeholder in a bank, you will get to keep your honor and think logically for growth.
Being a consensus witness makes you a politician and a demagogue, and thus, welcome ass-kissing and circle-jerking.
