Buying 51% of a governance token is not easy if there is a good distribution of it. The biggest threat for that to happen is when there is a premine or a private IDO where a big portion of the token ends up in the hands of a few people.
Even if those people owning a large percent of governance token are the best and most honorable people in the world there is always a threat of regulators. And one of the big points of Web 3 is free speech and resistance to regulators.
