"The people" who do it are less than 1% of "the people" a government represents.

There are already laws in most countries forbidding you to litter, and you would never call that "playing God" - it just happens that littering with crypto mining is a multi billion dollar industry.

I do call it playing God. In California there are laws against littering and they are not enforced. You cannot regulate change into the hearts of men.
