Not same category, but same spirit. I act as the sole arbitrator to what miners are permitted to mine and earn. "Mine as long as you do not exceed x hash rate" is similar to "censor these as long as the network is sustainable".
They're not in the same spirit either. Hashrate going from 500 to 10 makes bitcoin 100% vulnerable. However, fixing an exploit in the protocol is not going to damage anything, in fact it would get bitcoin's "healthiness" back!
You cannot just tell the miners they cannot mine x-type transactions, because you believe they earn "enough" and because you believe these transactions do not belong here (unless the hash rate needs them).
Maybe you need to check out the policy rules that we've been enforcing for the past decade to see that it is not "me" that is telling miners what to mine and what not to. The whole community has been preventing a large number of exploitable ways malicious people could use to spam Bitcoin, that is of course until this new exploit was found in the protocol which is being abused heavily these days.
