Hi @Cryptomergency, welcome to the community! I think you raise a great question, and I’m always happy to see critically minded individuals join the forum and take part in these sorts of debates. That’s one of the things that keeps the IC strong and healthy! 
I’m also a concerned community member, and I do my best to keep up with these sorts of discussions, and to take part in them in order to participate in steering the ship (so the speak).
Yes, I agree this is potentially concerning. There have been discussions about capping the voting power for these sorts of canisters.

You mentioned StakedICP (aka Meta Pool). I’m glad that there are competing solutions that exist which do take governance very seriously, such as WaterNeuron. I’m convinced this particular liquid staking solution will have a positive impact on NNS governance over time.
Full disclosure, I’ve invested in WaterNeuron (that’s because I genuinely believe in it), and I actively engage in the WaterNeuron DAO
