Yes humans are afraid of change. Why risk what you have now?
Well you have to see that Switzerland is always slow with change. In some areas women were not allowed to vote until 1990. o.O
I also think decentralized platforms are a good step but even here we have huge inequalities. If I invest 1’000‘00USD in steem power my vote is so much more worth then the mayorities and so I can influence the platform in a big way.
