A non mining user obviously cannot influence the rules alone, but he can detect the change in rules and opt-out until somebody mines a block that he likes. You need a full node to see what's going on in the network and decide if you still wanna be part of it
there’s no “or what”. there’s just the fact that Bitcoin maximalists & evangelists who write books and do videos/podcasts have spread the information that running full (non-mining) nodes contribute in securing the network. ergo it becomes de facto “truth” unless debunked.
