I agree a lesson well learned. Illusion is gone.
For me the issue isn't this situation it is now having a full understanding that 17 people can collude (it wasn't the case I heard 60) and make a change.
It has me questioning my EOS investment as well. Doesn't feel secure at all.
But I totally get your point it was always there, as was the threat of SteemIt Inc's stake was always there.
Doesn't make it feel good when a trigger gets pulled.
