You can change the code to do anything you like - its just code after all. Embed a flight sim or a spreadsheet or an FPS even, go crazy. That doesn't mean that all the users of bitcoin need to accept changes though.
And a change that means that the artificial scarcity angle is gone (aka the thing which leads to exponentially higher mining burden for each new bc) means its just then purely a fiat subject to infinite counterfeiting (aka 'money printing') like all other fiat currencies.
Which means it loses any and all value immediately.
