Given that this pathway is inefficient and plastics aren’t an inefficient food mechanism it seems likely even without a specific limiter it’d be hard for the bacteria to spread widely. Similar to the bacteria that termites host which decompose cellulose. But then again maybe plastic eating termites would co-evolve with such a bacteria. That’s creepy to think about. “My tv got eaten by plastic termites”... As you say life often finds a way.
