It’s just FUD pushed by Peter Todd who even admits he hasn’t read the BIP. Yes, it’s true that Drivechain theoretically boosts miner revenue i.e. incentives, but that’s a good thing for bitcoin network. And it’s “opt-in”. Only those who willing to risk their funds and business on sidechain are bearing the risk.

Because of merged mining, hash power determining ownership, & open participation it seems there is zero opportunity cost or downside to large miners trying to steal the coins in any drivechain. And if all miners are mining a drivechain to keep it secure then it's just a crappy round about way to achieve bigger blocks.
