they did not say "every single"

Well unless they get "every single" they have failed.

I'm not only interested in cases where a gov can shutdown the whole mining operation, but also in the risks that I as an individual need to face for mining. if there is a measurable risk, then I need to rethink if that is acceptable for me to continue, and if I can continue while avoiding that risk

Depends on what country ur in and what laws they have and if they even follow said laws. U can probably route over tor or a VPN like mullvad if ur so concerned.

I'm not interested in the laws part, I'm interested in the attack vectors, and I assume OP does so too
