Philosophically, on one hand I share your sentiment that each participant in the Bitcoin network have its own role, energy, dedication and no contribution is more special than other.

On the other hand, not all contributions are bringing the same value (if we take bitcoins as a common scale of value), otherwise we would tread the same someone correcting a non-significant typo in core documentation, than someone reducing the usage of the network to everyone else by finding some new scaling solution.
