Yeah, but if they publish non-standard blocks your nodes will reject them. What miners can do to their blocks is very limited.

If the other miners accept those block and keep building on the chain, then that's the chain. Thinking that non mining nodes do anything is like not watching a TV show and pretending you canceled it from being made anymore. It's absurd. I don't know where people have gotten this idea that nodes do anything but help broadcast the chain decided by the miners.
