I don't think so. I think it's culture. There is a huge "stakeholders can do anything they like with their stake" culture here.
Societies have constrained the negative elements of human nature successfully when good ideas are part of the culture, eg. rule of law, individual rights, property rights - along with sufficient enforcement so that it is not undermined by a few. Enforcement does not have to be violent.
Yes I agree. I hope that the changes to downvotes do lead to positive results eventually, but I think that is largely psychological, stakeholders could easily have enforced in the past and they didn't, the largest still are not.

Downvotes are part of our enforcement not violent at all yet, effective in many cases. Even to the point where people change their behavior...
