Such players could come to a consensus that the scarcity rules don't work for them, and may do so in future if, for instance, they decide that block rewards are too low. Sure, it would be a hard fork, but if the major players decided to go with it, the small players would be dragged along, or they could cling on to "Bitcoin classic" and see a major drop in the value of their coins.
The ending line here is pure grandstanding-

BTC scarcity is not some emergent property of the universe, it is a property of a protocol. A protocol controlled by people, some of whom have disproportionate amounts of power over the system. You have exchanged trust in a government for trust in a shadowy and unnaccoutable group of loosely connected wealthy folks. Best of luck with that.
