That is an interesting point. That is a feature of Bitcoin, not a bug.
If the user did have rights to sue someone then the system would not
be decentralized. User rights = someone else has a liability for
violating those rights.

As it is now a user would have the right to sue all the miners, node
operators, and developers collectively. Of course that is not realistic
which is the way a decentralized system should be. If you want to try
to define specific entities that have liability then they must be in
control or otherwise they would not be liable.
