Ethereum

1/ The blockchain trilemma encompasses Decentralization, Security, and Scalability.

Of these, scalability—manifested through speed and low cost—is the aspect people encounter in their daily lives (at least until challenges inevitably arise). Hence, it’s easy for individuals...

The blockchain trilemma is a relatively outdated way to think about the current state of blockchains imo, a lot has changed since it was formulated.

Here's Dankrad along the same lines:

In the above link, Dankrad discusses how execution and DA can be scaled *without* sacrificing decentralisation by Rollups and DAS, respectively. Which is the Ethereum roll-up centric approach to scaling

"Scaling by ultra-capacity hardware which kills decentralisation" is not what he said.

DAS is a good idea!

In Endgame, Vitalik talks about a similar path for both architectures (and he also mentions block production will be more centralized,  this is inevitable)

But the hardware argument is pretty flawed imo, it has been shown empirically in production that it doesn't hold up
