Ahh. Its the energy consumed and security provided by Proof of Work. Anyone can fork the bitcoin source code. (thousands have). Anyone can fork the ethereum source code (handfuls have, and some are quite successful so far: BNB, AVAX, MATIC and TRON are all examples of this). Proof of stake is a scam, and reinvents oligarchies, and introduces systemic censorship and consensus enforcement risks. You can't clone Bitcoin, the network, the users or the ecosystem.
