Ethereum has found real PMF with DeFi. What DeFi needs, other than basic primitives including privacy and censorship-resistance, is more scale, faster slots and faster finality. Making the active decision to look away from these objectives, because "we don't want to compete with Solana/Tempo/...", will imo not serve Ethereum, its stakers or its cypherpunks. Fortunately, there's an Ethereum version of this that's not Bitcoin, and not a winner-take-all, race to the smallest possible chain parameters. Quality of finality matters. Where liquidity flows to when it is supported by shorter slots matters (payments? trades? loans?) Cheap fees for users matter, particularly for price-sensitive users on less financialised applications. Functional, open financial markets for digitally native assets are cool and cypherpunk too.
