Every node has their own UTXO set. Nobody knows or cares about what miners do in theirs. If they produce an invalid block however (for example because it spends a UTXO that doesn't exist), that block will be rejected.

if bitcoin miner(s) changed the UTXO set would the bitcoin nodes reject the blocks?
