RE: Delegation Issue
With a very few exceptions (I can think of one anonymous early adopter with a pretty big account that suddenly disappeared and no one ever heard from; we suspect he or she may have died) the abandoned accounts have almost no stake and don't matter. Apart from those odd cases like sudden death people aren't in the habit of abandoning large holdings. If leaving most will at least power down, and certainly many did.
A lot of those million accounts never voted for witnesses either. New users who signed up looked around for a bit and then left.
Given that you are replying to low stake accounts, the dismissal of the stake wielded by zombies is facile.
I'm dismissing inactive accounts from being so much of the witness voting pool so as to overwhelm active users' votes, which it certainly isn't. Active users add value regardless of stake, so there is value in engagement. I don't personally pay attention to how much stake someone may have when engaging, and often it isn't possible to tell anyway (due to multiple accounts).
On this we strongly agree. Sadly, HF21 is going to dramatically reduce engagement by largely demonetizing it.
We at least have that to look forward to.
