From the first picture here[1] it says "Turn your PC's idle time into cash: show me how"

That appears to be opt-in. It's quite plausibly something people interested in crypto might actively want, namely a company they already do business with offering to make all the decisions about coins and wallets and stuff for a small fee. If a YC startup offered this, or it was added to the Dropbox client as an opt-in "let Dropbox make you some cash", people would love it. If Windows 11 or Edge included it, people would hate it. As an opt-in thing it's not a bad idea; not quit-your-job bad and certainly not "just following orders" Nazi trolling bad. It's Norton and AntiVirus's reputation which taint it.

"It is clear that nobody is implying a genocide is underway" - it at least implies that something strongly and obviously bad is underway that anyone with integrity should avoid. And that's not obviously the case either.
