1. If a powerful individual wants to adversely affect a chain, there are much more sensible and effective ways to do so than abusing a hard-fork.
2. Mistakes are inevitable, and refusing hard-forks makes many of them unfixable. That's why Bitcoin looks the way it does.
3.
The reason

hard forks make the system insecure in the long term is not only because individuals with sufficient power can enforce a negative change, but also because a single error could potentially devastate the system.

M is being modest. This work is a breakthrough in regulating UTXO set growth (in both an adversarial and organic setting). A holy grail in its own right that so far only had partial solutions (usually relying on cryptographic accumulators).
A preprint and a KIP are underway
Just completed a 6-page mathematical proof of a mass formula which on the one hand prevents dust attacks from bloating the utxo set while on the other hand special care is taken to have minimal/negligible mass cost on normal point-to-point txns. Still a draft. Gn/Gm:)

Actually, $kas also has an innovative solution to solve state bloat and surprise: it is already implemented in TN11!
See here:
The KIP itself will be published soon (it takes some time to write as the math is a bit challenging).
Ethereum is the only chain with a long-term plan to solve state bloat
Verkle trees allow for witness data to be small enough to be attached to every block. Meaning validators and nodes can become stateless, and all state can be stored (much more efficiently) off-chain
