Under what argument? In which scenarios? Basically - bullshit. I'm calling bullshit on this argument.
It's easy to hurt people already. The "difficulty" of doing it isn't what's stopping this behavior.
So claiming that we should reform society into a techno-feudal dystopia where the playing field is literally intentionally not level, and "you aren't allowed to compete (and maybe not exist)" is a great way to push more people into the "I'd like to go hurt people" camp.
You are self-prophesying your own fears into existence by acting like you're an incorruptible beacon of good judgement - while subjugating others to your control. That's a system I'd argue should be broken.
