No, and no one is suggesting that obviously.

What matters is the actual humans participating in the network by using their own node. Start9 published their sales for the last few months, so we can see through the “AWS” baseless deflection.

The people running nodes DO get a say obviously. Idk why NVK keeps making that weird argument. Quick thought experiment. If every Bitcoiner running a node decided they won’t accept a change then anyone that goes on to run an implementation with that change is left trading with himself. Users decide what they will and won’t accept.
