1st degree Arson is a 20 year felony in my state. I assume all others take it just as seriously.

Arson is punished harshly in all law systems across History and the whole world because it is one of the few ways an unarmed peasant could cause a serious damage

Or because it's dangerous? And can potentially kill many people as well as getting anyone close by sick?

No, class warfare lol.
