That's a great question.

When we go to Polkadot.js.org > Governance, we see "Democracy".

Indeed whales can force a bad decision on the network, but for this, they need to lock their tokens for a long time, which means that they are the ones that will most suffer from wrong decisions.
​
That's similar to Bitcoin mining.
If Bitcoin's blocks were created by "democracy", it would have failed.
Instead, Bitcoin works because blocks are created based on game theory and the miners will rationally do what is better for the newtork, despite them being good or evil (because they want more money!).
