If enough of the remaining Witnesses decides tomorrow, that they don't pay 200$ a moth and dozens of hours valid work time for maintaining a Server, what will happen? GG - Quit. With Steem at 0.15$, they can't pay the server costs and with Steem dropping, even more, they will just stop.

It is one thing to belive in Steem and Post/Create here and another to pay ~2.500,00€ Server costs a year. And we need those servers to run the Chain, because it is a DApp you know :D

Your profile tells me:
Economist and Entrepreneur with background in the space sector. @steempress co-founder and witness

So enlight me, what do I get wrong? It seems you should be right, because you're more experienced. But I must warn you, I did build up a few companies, too. Even if it is only as a consultant, I know how to roll.
