Which they could already do, with basic trademark law and just forcing all derivatives to be non-commercial. Cyrptominers are commercial.

Forcing all derivatives work to be non-commercial is incompatible with being open source.

Though I agree that they can already prevent usage of their app name with trademark laws.
