Can someone please explain to me why I would ever want

for apps that I want to be part of my identity

a (smart) wallet

that’s not connected to my ENS or any of my other onchain history?

I don’t want this but everyone is excited about smart wallets that force this

Today, smart wallets are for the millions of users on exchanges who are not yet onchain.

They are not for EOAers married to their onchain history.

BUT I am willing to bet most EOAers will switch to smart wallets in ~2 years - the UX is that good.

Smart wallets are not for you today. If we get stuck in old ways and history, we'll never grow the pie. 

Have you tried the smart wallet experience on https://matcha.xyz/? It is elite. Something I can actually have my normie friends do.

Ok but then I want apps to let me also use my own wallet, not force me to make a new smart wallet

Yes!

I feel the same way. 

I don't like passkeys, I don't want to use a new smart wallet, I don't want an embedded wallet. 

Agree w/ @kyle that these things "are not for me", but they also shouldn't be mandatory

A new app in beta that’s launching soon 🤫

What apps are forcing you to make a new smart wallet?

No one is forced. It gives you choice. "Mainstream" needs a smart wallet and they are more crowded than us.
