It is an assumption that the many were inconvenienced for the sake of the very few, but for the sake of argument I'll go along with it.
Scripture has it in the OT that God would save the cities on the plain for the sake of ten just men. The NT has Christ stating that He would leave the ninety-nine sheep for the sake of the one.
Living as we do in a democratic society, I could see how you might think that the majority rules. However, the Kingdom of Heaven is a monarchy, not a democracy.
