They don’t care about these even if they realize it. Just like how the ore they mine is free. 
So if their quest is to get rid of the gankers and ganking that’s a meta goal they might pursue no matter what.
Besides they might prefer to “fight” over yields and accept the reduced profits if they can AFK mine in peace so in the end they might still prefer to reduce ganking as much as possible. And how much it can be reduced only depends on how much CCP is willing to give in to carebear demands and apparently doesn’t seem gankers had much if any say about it in the past seeing all the disappointment they’ve expressed over the past nerfs.
So it really only depends on how persistent the miners can be. They might win the long term meta in the end if they are persistent enough.
