> one-CPU-one-vote

"He who has the chips, makes the rules."

The problem with your understanding is two-fold: first, "one CPU, one vote" sounds very egalitarian, but in practice it just means people buy vote share and therefore control.

The second is the idea that democracy is a perfect consensus system. That's only true if nobody agrees to fork.

No social contract is written in stone (despite millennia of efforts to do so).
