And if you manage to attack the miner's firmware, you'd lose no money at all, same if a pool reaches 51% and you'd attack it.
If you would manage to compromise 51%+ of ASICs, how would you maintain the full control over them? What would you try to 'destroy' the network?
Regardless of what you will do with those ASICs to attack the network, it will be WAY LESS profitable than just using them for mining (or destroying them to increase the actual percentage of 'own' hashrate) while you have control over them.
See above. Also, as said, in PoW miners generally don't care in the coin's health after they cashed out their profit, because they don't need to care about that. They will just move on to the next profitable SHA256 coin and continue.
If bitcoin would suffer a 51% attack maintained over multiple hours, the whole cryptomarket would drop in value.
An attacker couldn't 'move on' to the next coin. They all would be worthless. The altcoins would be crashing first, followed by BTC.
This additionally assumes an attacker is able to cash out in a timeframe between the 51% attack and the markets reaction to such an attack, which does not necessarily apply.
