False, everyone running a node is enforcing whatever rules their node is written to enforce. You could have 99% of the hashpower, if you generated a block saying that Coinbase is handing over all their Bitcoin to you (with an invalid signature because you don't have their private key), their node and the nodes of most/all exchanges and businesses would just go "lol, wtf is this shit, not a valid block because it has a transaction with an invalid signature, ignored". A majority of hashpower is not the same as a majority of economic participants.
