Agreed. Though it seems like the consensus protocol does protect against malicious or compromised gatekeepers.
It seems that by dialing up the trust in their validator nodes (to something significantly greater than the trust you might have in a bitcoin node, but also significantly less than 100% trust), they are able to decrease the work involved in the consensus protocol, reducing energy usage.
