If a miner withholds transactions the other miners have a right to reject the block.

Transactions do not need to get to every miner instantly, but they cannot be withheld. A node that withholds a tx is in breach of contract and is also not exempt for the requirements to KYC each transaction. They have as much to do as a bank on every tx.

Every other node could sue for the FULL value of a block if they can show that the miner who wins a block has hidden even a single tx.

The simple answer is that if a node requests an inventory and the other doesn't send the FULL tx list, the node that loses has an argument to claim the full reward legally

It is one thing to take a tx directly, it is another thing to withhold it

Taal is not hiding txs

Hidden blocks don’t make money because other miners will take legal action. A hidden transaction depends on what you define as hidden. Does it mean that your miner hasn’t received it, or does it mean that someone is actively suppressing it? These are very different things.

People don't fucking operate nodes

corporations do, businesses do

the consensus of the system is purely economic

it is not about radical distribution, it is not about democracy and it is not about any of that other bullsshit that people are spouting about how it takes down banks

bitcoin is a commercial enterprise system

it was always designed to be a commercial enterprise system

commercial systems get lawyers
