But you're not signing EULA's in order to participate in the network. Moreover, there are no real "laws / regulations" within the network either, specifying what you are or are not allowed to do. Ethereum standards merely determine how the software is supposed to work, but even then I'm sure Ethereum devs would oppose treating their docs as an agreement (because they don't offer any warranty, licensing or attestation). Moreover, there is an express goal to have a diverse set of software clients, so even developing your own software to be interoperable with existing standards can't be constructed as "an attack".All this to say, I just fail to say how this can be constructed as "changing the terms of the transaction". There was no legal agreement between parties and no existing precedent to treat this as a malicious attack at all.
All I see is a Wall Street establishment pulling strings in order to protect their investment, by asking for a sudden government oversight in the system that was built with the express goal of not requiring any government oversight.

Clearly, it has failed at that goal. This should not be surprising in the slightest.
Government gunna govern.
