This is nonsensical. PoS users can change any parameters of the chain just as easily as PoW users can change the hashing algorithm. If all the PoS users switch to a version of the full node and or light client software that has the biggest holder’s balance reduced to zero, there is nothing anyone can do to stop them. It is the exact same thing as if PoW users switch to a full node software with a different hashing algo.

I think the most fundamental difference that "balanced reduced to zero, is not even up for discussion in Bitcoin.

Some Orwellian newspeak right there. "Reduced to zero". Just call it what it is: blacklists.

Blacklists = permissioned access.

Behave or we blacklist your coins. Welcome to Fiat 2.0

Whatever. All Bitcoin users could also switch to a client that reduces someone's balance to zero.
