Only miners really matter, if you only have a full node you don't have control over the network, just the ability to verify it. You will have to follow wherever the miners lead you.
The following is just my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong:
People don't connect directly to miners. They connect to nodes (8000+) which forward to miners. Nodes can declare an order is valid or invalid and they can blacklist bad-behaving miners. They can refuse nodes/miners that signal a change they don't agree with.
So I think full nodes are VERY important in the network and their voice counts. That's why I'm running one.
