doesnt bitcoin mining difficulty self adjust every week based on hash power? This would mean that each miner, whether or not they find blocks, matters.
Difficulty adjusts only based on block time, not hash power. The mechanism is called CalculateGetNextWorkRequired.

isn't there a direct correlation between block time and hash power?
statistically averaged, yes.
direct, no
What causes block time to increase or decrease?
