I'm not sure. Look at Mara mining. Remember this:

Marathon Digital Holdings Becomes the First North American Enterprise Miner to Produce Fully AML and OFAC Compliant Bitcoin

Company Successfully Directs all of its Hashrate to the Marathon OFAC Pool, the First North American-Based Bitcoin Mining Pool, Fully Compliant…...

Nation states are more involved with the industry now than they were back then. Also, Mara didn't have the hash rate to ignore sentiment. Foundry does. Big institutional miners just care about the bottom line and fiat profits. They won't give a second thought to miner policy.

If they wanna front like they control the network they can fork off. There is no incentive for miners to be bad.

No incentive? That's why Mara did it. To appease the U.S. government every large pool is KYC/AML. Censoring transactions from "rogue states" like Iran and Russia are next. That's if they stick around rather than switch to becoming AI data centers. Off topic: It's nice being able to have a back and forth on nostr. I feel like any kind of engagement is tough here. 😀
