1. If half of Bitcoin users (hashrate-wise) wanted to disrupt the network out of malice ignoring their economic wellbeing, say a movement similar to GME/WSB, then they can disrupt it.

2. We can go into lower levels and find a number of ISPs specially level 1 ones being able to disrupt the Bitcoin network. Some other single points of failure I can imagine are common routers firmware.

Can Bitcoin never be disrupted? no, does it have mechanisms in place that make it unlikely to be disrupted? yes.
