The statement came in a series of tweets explaining Ethereum’s new manifesto.

Ethereum miners, on the other hand, agree that it is pointless to punish one group of network users to protect the rights of others.
After Merge, EthereumPoW will decouple it from the PoS chain and aim to be fully autonomous and self-sustaining, devoid of any governance entity. It is aimed to reach this goal gradually over the next three years.

Despite all the talk of decentralization, the main reason for this is the blocking of the profits of the miners. Base Fee, that is, base payments going to the burning address and getting out of use, is a factor that reduces the profits of miners.
With the help of the burn mechanism, Ethereum had a separate source of support in the market because with the burn, users were able to get rid of some of the selling pressures that had arisen before. In addition, the controlled decline in supply also provided supply-based value to the asset.
