Would be curious as to what the rationale for this feature is. Presumably Norton's goal is to be good at protecting clients' machines from undesirable activity.

Would be curious as to what the rationale for this feature is. Presumably Norton's goal is to be good at protecting clients' machines from undesirable activity. And being good at this does not necessarily require them to be good at mining. Would Norton rather crypto hobbyists mine with them (reputation, legitimacy) than with software & partners with sketchier backgrounds? If so, this does seem like an reasonable, albeit unusual, feature.
