Profit from fees is good for miners and LSPs… profit from theft is bad. Understand?
Currently, there’s no way to profit from theft. Theft is currently very costly. 51% attacks aren’t profitable.

Currently, you’d have to pull-off a double-spend larger than the cost of your 51% attack to profit — but you’d temporarily tank the value of BTC doing a 51% attack, devaluing your ASICs.
With Drivechains, to profit you’d just 51% attack an unpopular sidechain and STEAL all the user funds… big difference!

Without miners the bitcoin network does not exist.
