You've revealed plainly that you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

Miners can't change the protocol of the entire network.

The only malevolent thing they could do is perform a 51% attack if they all colluded together. And even that wouldn't achieve much, so there's not much incentive to do it. All they can do is a double spend. They would've been better off spending that energy on mining blocks to be rewarded with the Bitcoin subsidy.
