But wouldn’t that undermine the incentive of the miners? The reward for the miners is the Coinbase and not so much the fees. If the coinbase gets worthless because the network dies there is no incentive to mine empty blocks in that scale.

But if their goal is to make money, as long as they are being paid enough to attack the network by a bad actor then they don’t care about the incentive of the network. They’re basically being paid to bring down the network. And in my opinion we have to assume that will happen if we really think bitcoin will become what we think it will. In other words, assume the worst and decentralize mining and block creation ASAP.
