You don't understand the process of mining. Every mining device that participates in the search for a valid block header adds to the global hashrate. Why? Because finding a valid block header is a random process. Any hashwork of any miner, regardless if solo or pool, draws lottery tickets to find a valid block header. Double the number of miners or their hashes/s and you double the number of drawn lottery tickets. It doesn't matter where they draw their lottery tickets.

It's crucial to understand this and I have doubts you do.

Thanks for highlighting the significance of the mining process and its impact on the global hash rate. Your insights shed light on the connection between the number of miners and the chances of finding a valid block header. Appreciate the clarification!
