Yes, but if some other miner decides to actually build on top of the other block, the miner that chooses not to will get orphaned and lose their block reward. In addition, the cost of the expensive blocks is a burden on the entire network, not just the miners. Bitcoin has a soft fork process (BIP9) where a rule can be enforced among all nodes at the same time. Of course, it is necessarily slow to activate and currently requires 95% of miners to signal support to minimize the number of blocks produced using the old rules. |
