Good luck herding all of those kittens into one basket. There's a smooth 30 million bitcoin wallets out there.
This is such a big issue that there exist cryptocurrencies with on-chain governance that replace hard forks with voting, such as Tezos (which I worked on, disclosure, yadda yadda).

You need miners and network nodes to update their rules, not "wallets". The wallet software itself isn't concerned about the coin emitting rules.
