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.
