The vast majority of mining equipment comes from a country whose government takes pride in censorship. That country is also expected to bring online significantly more energy production in the coming decade. They can make it difficult to change the pool that equipment mines on and most people can't be bothered to reverse engineer manufacturer firmware. Do you not see a danger in this trend continuing?
Aw man. Have ASIC manufacturers sell 10 different ASICs and increase their revenue! That was your proposal to solve your first problem. Now you conjure a different problem, dude, that's just moving the goal post. I'm done here.
