Safety from 51% attack can't be accomplished by just keeping someone's hash rate below 49% at average (not peak) load. If for example Foundry wants to mount a 51% attack they need to rent 30% more to succeed which is still hard enough for now. But if a single miner controls 49% the safety is already dead because they can just rent 2% more whenever they want.
