Eh, I think it’s naive to believe that greed is sufficient protection. Owning a bunch of ETH so you can set ETH on fire would be a waste of money, only so long as the person setting the fire didn’t value the mischief more than the ETH. I don’t see why nation states wouldn’t attack each other by burning down the crypto assets of citizens, either.

I never said that, I actually agree with you. I was just explaining GP's point to parent who in my opinion missed it.

Ah, apologies. I read you as agreeing with and clarifying GP's argument.
