I guess what you are saying is break up the monopoly of whales by forcing them divest , it has happened in world with big companies but since there is no ID check behind Steem a whale can just create shadow account and split token amongst them.

I do , however , take your broader point about the problem statement of few players having too much influence to leverage the rewards pool.

Here is a potential solution - once you go above a certain reward value , a % is deducted ( let's call it steem tax ?) and that gets fed back into the system.

Dramatic recreation :Here we see a regular steem user being Fuc$$d by a whale
