They wouldn't serve as a 'force' to push the new fork as it as no economic power.

Then, if I believe this, I must also believe that a node who simply record valid transaction do not have much power in pushing the current original Bitcoin as the real Bitcoin.

Tho calling it useless might be wrong since they serve as decentralization of the ledger.

Essentially I might be coming to the understanding that

Economic node = Strong network

Nodes = Decentralization network

Actually I really enjoyed that full line of thinking!

I agree with you on your train of thought.

It's not that the one node has a ton of power individually. It's the fact that it stops other individuals from trying to push whatever agenda they want.

You're holding the status quo by running the node. Which if #Bitcoin fails decentralization, let's face it, #Bitcoin fails all together. It's incredibly valuable to have more nodes although you can't see the benefit except abstractly.
