"Preventing these coins from being stolen" sounds a lot like taking away agency from the coin owners, active intervention, even if with good intentions is what the fiat system constantly does.

You’re assuming I’m advocating for doing this now or any time soon, which I very much am not. The only time where it makes sense to consider freezing QC-vulnerable coins is when it’s very obvious that a CRQC is on the immediate horizon and they’re going to be stolen if nothing is done.
Yes, we strongly agree that options for QC-secure Bitcoin storage should be provided *long* before that time comes, and without that any discussion of freezing also makes no sense.
