Bitcoin is the most esoteric and inaccessible form of governance to exist.

Bitcoin is not supposed to be anything other than an honest, irreversible, and (theoretically) unhackable ledger of who transacted what. The “governance” is highly ideologically aligned open-source contributors, and as long as that behavior stays in place Bitcoin will remain true to itself. 

Yes, miners create the new Bitcoins and they can theoretically take over the network if they control a majority, but validators (which you can run with a Raspberry Pi and a 2TB external hard drive) ensure that the miners’ cryptographic solutions are legitimate. If there is an illegitimate transaction from a miner, the validators reject the whole block and the miner’s ASIC cycles get thrown in the trash.
