Lots of things work this way. You can play on a sports team and not bring too much to the table, and yet your team will win anyway. And yet, if everyone takes that attitude, then the team loses.
In fact, I would say that almost any real progress in the world depends on shared effort where each individual person who's part of it isn't individually critical to the outcome. Not wanting to take part in that kind of thing even when it's mind-bogglingly trivial (as voting is) is going to exclude you from the majority of good things you can do.
No, it's an analogy.
You’re a really poor analogy
