Exactly, the way they were defined in previous budget as follows - Steward + Secretary Compensation reads as follows - Working Group Steward and Secretary compensation totalling $276,000 USDC.
It doesn’t say that Stewards will be compensated in ENS token at all, that’s the budget that was approved at a time.
Even if we stretch this situation and see who sold their tokens to test the assumption that “it’s for voting only”. I’m not exactly Ethereum forensics specialist, so please correct me if I’m wrong, and I don’t have time to do everyone now, but here is what I found out.

So to Stewards its just money, not an opportunity to have voting power.
