Lets say miners got their way and centralised bitcoin meaning it can change bitcoin rules like changing the cap supply. What if they decide to decrease the cap supply to 17 million instead of increasing it so they can manipulate the price to all time highs and cash in on it?

Miners can't force you to run their node software.

If other users don't run their software either, they won't be forcing anything on anyone.
If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.
