Nope. People are not taking advantage of anything. Do you live in Iran? Majority of bitcoin is mined in containers. Civilians do not have access to megawatt power supplies. Civialns also can't import such containers. Electricity may be cheaper but graphic cards and ASICs certainly are not. TDLR; people don't have access to mining equipment or power source required. Rulers do.
