Aren’t both things true? Miners can’t force nodes to accept blocks as being valid, nodes can’t force miners to include transactions in their blocks.

These statements are not in conflict.

The difference being that anyone can mine, so even if 99% of miners are censoring a transaction, it will still likely be confirmed in a block.
