A lot of the increase in hashrate is just the improvement to Asic efficiency, which doesn't mean it's more secure.

I think power consumption is a much better way to measure security than hash rate imo

You can always make a better Asic but the power itself is capped by the universe

I think you can measure security to some degree, but there is always an element of uncertainty.

As security is not just hashrate. Security always comes down to people taking risks
