That's exactly what it is. "Big 6" basically get to make all the decisions if it goes through. Some proposals have merit but won't happen as the other clubs would basically have to give up their votes, non starter because of that and rightly so too. Maybe they can come to a compromise where some of it gets implemented and clubs keep their votes but it's changed to an 11 vote majority instead of 14 as it currently is.

But without the big 6 wouldnt be the money in the game

and if a power grab is to give 25% of PL revenue to EFL then you really need to look up Powergrab in the dictonary

It is an attempt to gain control & make the rich richer. The 25% of collective revenue is to get the deal through but there is nothing to stop that figure being lowered at a vote later.
Also there will be less collective revenue as this deal allows clubs to sell games separately outside of the TV deal (this most likely will increase), also 4 less game weeks so less opportunities to broadcast.

Also by reducing the Premier league by 2 teams you are effectively kicking 2 teams out of the football league to make room for them as EFL wont have a 26 team league.
