A lobbyist is just a programmer for laws. “Everyone” already has the power to suggest changes, but only some people have taken the time to learn how to “code.” The main issue is still “who gets the power?”
And Wikipedia suffers from the same coordination problem that plagues governments: if a small group values X highly, and 90% of everyone values “not X” just a little bit (or, more often,, would value “not X” if they were made aware of X), X gets implemented (because the people in charge don’t know about the second group).
