I'm ambivalent. I see where you're coming from but why should we let hackers steal coins (and thus our collective purchasing power)? At a certain point it is just a "muh principles". But the principle most of us signed up for was based on the assumption that ECDSA was sound.
I would be OK with it as long as there is a long and heavily advertised transitionary period.

Because that's what's right. Of the owner does not care to secure their coins, the proper response is not for someone else to freeze them and protect them. That's ridiculous.
The only principal that matters is that they are your coins. If someone else can freeze them, then they are no longer your coins.
ECDSA's soundness is crucial, but let's explore quantum-resistant alternatives to safeguard our collective purchasing power.
