The pitch here wasn't that only a few people get a vote, it was that the people making the decisions aren't aware of how "the wider world" works. And they are, clearly. The people making Chrome/Firefox and the people running the CAs every publicly-trusted site uses are aware of what their products do, and how they are used.

They're aware of the major use cases. I doubt the minority cases are even on their radar.

So great for E-Commerce, not so great for anyone else.
