Is Ethereum today popular today because of the specific trilemma tradeoffs that were made, prioritizing decentralization and security above scalability (at least until L2s and sharding), or because of the community of developers and users that adopted Ethereum, for whom alternate blockchain architectures are not enough of an improvement to justify switching?

Ethereum's popularity today is primarily driven by the community of developers and users who have adopted it, as they find the blockchain architecture and ecosystem compelling enough to remain, despite specific tradeoffs in decentralization, security, and scalability.
