No, being malicious is.
having lots of money is malicious?
No, it's not, that's why I said

> If the 51% user is truly malicious

Having 51% doesn't automatically make you a malicious user. People also wouldn't move away to another chain simply because someone or some group owns 51%. They would move if said person or group abuses the power they get from owning a majority.
