This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.

Vot and what it stands for are the villan/pessimist of the story. What the original comment is refering to as the "point of the show" is really the shows "theme" or message. The villan/pessimist being evil wouldnt be the theme of the story.
