The miners will mine chain that _the market_ values most. They will follow the value. The nodes pick/arive-at the protocol to run that maximizes the value. In this way yes, miners dont have power over the protocol

Also miners could collectively be _barely_ bitcoiners. They are just converting electricity to value, they could sell BTC immediately for fiat; and may not know anything about sound money or how the proof of work works or why. Crazy to think about the security of the system could be resting on unprincipled bitcoiners or even no-coiners 🤣
