There is a very big difference. PoS collapses governance into a single group: custodians. With PoW governance is a push and pull between miners and custodians. Additionally, PoW miners need to constantly sell Bitcoin to cover operating costs, whereas stakers in a PoS system have a small fixed cost and large stakers will always stay large. Miners on the other hand need to constantly invest and expand to stay competitive.
