You forget that nodes signal intention, and intention matters. Signalling that they will reject your blocks if you don’t fall in line is the real world analogy of threatening economic sanctions.

Miners care about being able to sell their coins.
Hashing on the right fork (once there actually is a fork) is the only thing they actually care about when push comes to shove.
If microstrategy, ETFs, exchanges announced their intentions then it would definitely be taken seriously. As would a large number of merchants that accept bitcoin.
A bunch of random nodes on AWS is just noise though.
