"Commodity hardware being competitive" isn't a desirable thing either? Remember when Ethereum caused a run on desirable GPUs? Miners were buying them by the truckload and locking them away in datacenters, where they basically computed hash collisions and made heat.

Personally I'd rather miners use ASICs for their hash collision wankery and leave the consumer markets alone. But I'd really like to see miners cease to exist because crypto comes with a huge environmental cost and so many externalities.
