I don't think the Monerobros even care about scarcity or market cap, they just care about some medium of exchange they can transact in that's "private" and that's the value driver?

I don’t really care about privacy at all. I care about fungibility. I care about my counterparties not getting their exchange accounts frozen when they send or receive money from me, which happened frequently with Bitcoin. I care about my coins being redeemable on equal terms to everyone else’s. That is the social contract that the technology of Monero enforces. 1 XMR = 1 XMR. I am a public figure, I am not looking to do anything in secret.
You'll care of they bother to attack it because all your coins will disappear when they reorg the chain, and you won't be able to make any transactions when they mine empty blocks. This attack is trivial for even a very small state actor to execute.
