Or like the inflationary overflow incident in 2010 when Satoshi forked away (aka confiscated) UTXOs that would have broken the system. It's easy to be cute and virtue signal simple principles, but life is dirty. Sometimes you have to confiscate specific UTXOs to save the network as Satoshi did in 2010. And in no way is this a slippery slope to confiscating any UTXO, literally nobody really believes that

We'll make an exception for Satoshi to patch a bug, especially since it was 2010 when the entire community consisted of like 20 nerds on bitcointalk. For anyone trying to confiscate UTXOs today, they can go fork, I'm not interested in a form of bitcoin that cannot be used as generational wealth because you need to check Twitter every 5 minutes to see how to stop your coins from being stolen at the protocol level.
