I totally see your reasoning but the math does not add up. Right now my 50000 coins are worth $760 USD and my rig have costed me $8000 that you didn't factor in the initial cost. Now, as a miner I am not getting an airdrop to cover my losses; rather my losses will become bigger as I believe the coin price will go down in value as the airdropped coins hit the exchanges. This is the only crypto I know of that is not burning the remaining ICO coins which explains my skepticism.
However, I am not trying to make it to be Miners Vs ICO Investors, I am talking about being Fair!
I am sure that the remaining ICO coins that are not involved with the airdrop could be burned. Besides this scenario, I would imagine that they are locked on general sale to the public for project costs at a price that is greater than the ICO price, thereby only further supporting the project. We are only getting more and more evidence daily that our Dev team are working hard to do things right.
