For me it's like the reason LEO doesn't go up is because we don't do things right and not them... I invest and have shares in many companies and, although to collect dividends they require me to have a stake on a certain date, nobody tells me or conditions me in the investments I make.
I have read your answer too, I have felt the same for a long time with the behavior of Leo.voter but that only depends on them and their rules, you can't do anything if they only want to vote for themselves who they like...
Leo has done things very well, they have worked very hard in many aspects and have largely supported the development of this blockchain but what they ask here seems stupid and childish to me.
I am an investor, not a puppet.
