I guess it all depends on timeline.
How fast do you think CRQCs will be available?

If we have maybe 10 years to get a tested and proven resistant address format, then give maybe 100 years for coins to move 🤔

I wouldn't mind burning coins that didn't bother to move in a century.
Who ever had these coins is dead 😅

On the other hand, I can also see these coins as an incentive to produce a quantum computer.

Is it good for humanity to develop QC?
I guess it is.
Could cracking old addresses be seen as a proof of work in developing a QC?
I think it can.

Your last point, about the chain with less coins being choosen by the market, is a good agreement tho 🙈
If I were in this scenario, I guess I would hold both chains.
