Strong belief that a 19 year old who has already been caught cheating twice would cheat again is hardly a mental breakdown.

The issue isn't his belief. It's that he's throwing a tantrum and has ruined two Chess tournaments (so far). He's free to believe whatever he likes, but to resign in a match in a tournament is not fair to all the other players.

It’s hard to see how other players are negatively impacted. If anything the publicity is likely a net positive for them.

The top 8 players in the tournament get invited to the next tournament. Hans Niemann got a free point from the game Carlsen resigned. That impacts the standings for all the other players. It’s hard to see how they’re not impacted.

That ultimately impacts one player if Hans gets in instead of them, or zero players if it doesn’t change the results.
