What you're saying is that you disagree with the fundamental design that said "more power = more lockout of bad actors". The single defining property of the system. ok, it's your opinion, but no one solved the problem bitcoin solved with your thinking.
No, I'm saying that *as well* as more lockout of bad actors it should *also* increase throughput.

I'm not just trying to be snarky. Your original rant was against bitcoin being engineered stupidly. It wasn't. It was engineered in a way you disagree with. Your fantasy of increasing both aspects with power is just that. It's not obvious how to do that.
