That is true of all L2 tokens, just like it is true of Hive.

Stake = the ability to give & take rewards, as well as give & take visibility.

In the case of Hive, that (quite centralized) stake also means that just a few people decide what proposals are funded, and what witnesses are in the top 20 (thus ALL governance)

I much prefer Odysee/LBRY, where I earn much less, but nobody can steal what I do earn, or hide my content, and I'm not creating value for people who actively want us all controlled & oppressed until we go extinct.
