they wouldn't attempt to change Bitcoin to be "fair"; as they see that word.
I think you underestimate how fair sound money is. When it happens I think It will be seen as overwhelmingly fair. People will not be left with zero sats on the streets, I think that concept is what happens with fiat and debt.
If you save your sats they will look after you. The cycle of savings is encouraged and compounds making a community more resilient and if you are decent people around you will be able to help you up.
This contrasts to a fiat system where everyone becomes slaves to debt and speculation and are not easily able to judge if they can afford to help you financially. Even if they do they might expect you to blow the money recklessly as the system encourages.
