That's the entire point of the Security Council -- to allow states with the most powerful militaries and nuclear weapons to exert greater influence.
To create another system would be to risk irrelevance due to the mismatch between actual military power and UN power.
It sucks when it leads to states using that power, but the alternative is more wars and potentially nuclear weapons use.

In principle, all members could be like that. I understand that UNSC is the way it is because that's the only way to actually get the power players to participate. That doesn't make it any less broken.
