Because influence is not measured in percentages, it is measured in concrete value that is your HP.
Saying that adding 2K HP to a 20K account really means that "the middle class can expand its influence." Umm, not really. Adding 2K may feel like an accomplishment (and it is), the real-world "influence" is very small. Daily curations and comments are what build true favor with HIVIANS. Large HP is nice, but only goes so far. YouTube "influencers" have no HIVE POWER number, they don't need it. Their own personalities are their influence.
