"Master" implies the other nodes are slaves, i.e. without power. What happens if the masternodes are attacked (ddos, police raids etc)?

And masternodes run on paid haidware, paid bandwith. No RbyPIs here. Which means the Dash network syncs the fastest out of pow chains. Downtime? please. Hard to attack. No central area

I disagree with that visual, they make decisions for the network like the master of a house. 5k globally-distributed nodes? Good luck. Monero only has ~1.7k nodes.

5000 master nodes?

Correct. According to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/masternodes.dws, the current count is 5002. Fully incentivized nodes running on expensive hardware. Not like btc or bch or xmr
