Not meaning to throw shade at any other chain, but this is why I’m a long-term believer in the tech behind Ethereum

As Jason observed, less decentralized chains can still be valuable.

But an important question is: why?

If we better understood that question and its answer, then we'd be better at marketing our own high level of decentralization for having clarified its opportunity cost.

Genuine question:

If we assume that businesses providing valuable services and products to users is what will increase user adoption then why would a regular business care about decentralization except for disintermediation?

What is the real value proposition of building on a "decentralized stack"?

Possibly because of shenanigans like these:

Digital Transformation for the Financial Services sector.

"manipulated by operators" - It seems to be that there are plenty of operators that need to be trusted to operate in Web3 at the moment if one is to build a "sustainable" venture. The time, knowledge, and resources to operate on Ethereum Mainnet (most decentralized smart contract platform) is too high. Not accessible.
