The paradox is if they do the forced shitcoin scenario plus hoarding (which you can obviously see happening already) then they actually hurt the value of their stash long term. Like falling on their own sword. But they don’t see that - yet.
Yes there’s a limited incentive to spend vs hodling, but @npub150q6...en2h made a decent response to that already. I would add / argue there’s also an incentive to be paid in BTC which “pulls” spending.

If they succeed on getting a controlling share of the network
and they have a captured market of users
i don't think its true that doing a fractional shitcoin off of Bitcoin hurts the value of their stash.
i guess it depends a lot on the details
and its all pretty theoretical
