Don't tolerate ASIC vendors mining, for a start... That's absurd on its own right - companies should not compete against their customers like that.

If that was decreed, miners would just stop selling to customers and avoid the conflict.

And why can’t they do that?

They can, they would, they shouldn't have to. Changing the PoW to cut off the largest infrastructure investor, or enforcing conflicts of interest on ASIC manufacturers are both anti capitalistic.

Miners aren't infrastructure. Certainly not when centralised.

They are definitely infrastructure, miners are some of the most core infrastructure to the Bitcoin protocol.

I think we're getting sidetracked by disagreements on definitions. If we show you Bitmain controls >51% of BTC mining hw then shouldn't you want a PoW change to mitigate the risk that Bitmain attacks BTC via mining. They can secretly mine w/ newest rigs, push miners to obey etc

Not if implementing a PoW change exposes the network to even greater risks than a centralized mining monopoly.

Which it doesn't, so a non-issue.

This whole thread is a testament to a lack of consensus and serious concerns introduced to the incentive model in transitioning PoW, as well as a concern about the precedent set. Dont get to big as a miner or we will fork you off? That's anti competitive.
