Does it? First of all you didn’t engage with the argument in the post at all, so I’d encourage you to do so. But to your point, I disagree. You could also see this as preventing these coins from being stolen. In fact, in order to enable people to claim funds that were stored insecurely but using a seedphrase-based derivation you *have* to freeze insecure spend paths. Given that is the vast majority of wallets today, I find it hard to believe the tradeoff of screwing most bitcoiners is worth it.
