There is no such thing as a "miner takeover" because miners don't vote. Unlike with proof of stake.

The only powers they have are to censor transactions, conduct denial of service and (if they have over 50%) conduct a double spend attack.

What you are describing in #1 is a government takeover of miners.

Definitely a nit pick, but what are we here for if not for that?
