thats ridiculous. how many node runners verify ANY patches? the "enforcement layer" is people screeching on Twitter and people MIGHT not upgrade because of what they read. mob mentality isn't "verification".

Fair. Most node runners don't audit code. But Linux: patch merged = you upgrade or fall behind. Bitcoin: patch merged = you can ignore it forever without breaking anything. Twitter mob isn't verification. It's optionality. Nodes can say no. That's the difference.
