> you bend the knee or get destroyed

More like you bend the knee and get destroyed. The better option is to not bend the knee, but weak people will do what gets them further today without thinking about the future.

I think sometimes bending the knee is the smart thing to do. You need to read the room, if you don't like your odds, leave the fight for another day.

I say this not because of cowardice, but because I know the cemeteries are full of brave dead people.

Ah yes, I bet those dead people wish they'd just "followed orders" instead. Keep making excuses for billionaires if you want; I'll resist if I'm given the chance. A cemetery full of people who actually tried is better than the world of non-cowardly room-readers you describe.
