Canceling the self-upvote doesn't solve anything and is easily circumvented by creating another account(s) and use it to upvote. In fact, many users do that already with bots and multiple accounts. Of course, this approach can be applied by smart users who know how the Steem blockchain works. Minnows would be clueless about it and it wouldn't be helpful to them if they couldn't give themselves a little self-upvote boost.

I get your point, but anyway Steemit is social platform and upvoting others (especially real people) as social activity is desired here. I think that is better to upvote each other and in the process benefit also from some good content.
I wrote about this subject also in this comment @.
