also, in case of asteroid impact you will lose all your money. what's your point?

why would the miners discard a transaction and not another one given that the value they extract is the same?

I don't know why they would discard a transaction. The point is that they can discard transactions, which appears to invalidate the claim that bitcoin payments are "uncensorable" and "trustless".
