Look up "sunk cost".
GPU mining is poised to be permanently done. There is no "lesson" to teach miners, because there is no expected repeat of such a run on GPU mining again.
Meanwhile, the implication from your post is that it is better that the tens or hundreds of thousands of GPUs miners currently own and may offload would be better in a dump, just for retribution.

Nicely said. Actually there is a point - vengeance and moralizing. But you're right this probably wouldn't have much effect on GPU availability and reduction of pollution in the near future.
