Yes. The economic weight of a node has always been where the power lies. It is why pointing to node counts for signaling has always just been posturing, when in reality is has always been subject to Sybil attacks. How much economic weight is behind a given node is where the real power lies. Coinbase's node holds far more power than some user who only holds 0.001BTC running a raspberry pi at home, for example.
