i believe you're applying diverse to client, rather than to teams, so my response is in line with this interpretation:
bitcoin's power vacuum resulted in miners forking from core and essentially voting on change by accepting forks, something that has lead to economically-incentivized decisions over adherence to protocol principles (e.g. BRC-20s, ordinals, runes)
ethereum is largely committee driven, and it feels like the "diversity" of clients is more like the practice in flight systems, where multiple redundant system implementations exist and divergence is detected through collective evaluation. to my understanding, very few actually simultaneously run different consensus clients for the _same_ beacon chain block/validator, same with execution client, but rather just the collective quantity of validators and block proposers out there are doing so. this principle is great for detecting flaws and handling them gracefully, but does incur the cost of nimbleness, 1/2 2 replies
