I hope this is somehow applied in the next steem fork to prevent the usage of multiple account for self-voting and witness election manipulation by using fake accounts to vote for the witness account of the botnet owner (ahem nextgencrypto ahem).

The number of accounts voting for witnesses is irrelevant. What matters is the stake (aka "Steem Power") behind the votes.

Again, UA is fat better at predicting witness quality as well.

So basically one user with a ton of steem power can nominate himself as witness and hurt the platform and no one can do anything about it?

One bad witness can't hurt the platform. The job of a witness is to sign blocks and to approve software upgrades (forks).  If a witness does not do what he is supposed to do then he/she is kicked out from the top spots or is left running a version of the software that is incompatible with the one used by the rest of the witnesses and by doing so is no longer part of the blockchain. 

It takes 2/3 of the top witnesses to enforce consensus rules. Even is someone with a big stake does bad things socially, he still needs to behave **as a witness** and do useful work for the platform.

One "bad whale" is not an issue if the "good whales" counteract his or her social "mis-behavior".
