let me present you a hypothetical:

two blockchains that make their value prop about enabling as much economic activity on a single shared state machine.

- one is quite fast (~400ms latency).
- the other is faster (~1-10ms latency).

-one is somewhat decentralized (validators must be run in data centers).
- the other is secured by the most decentralized network in the world (home stakers ftw).

- one has apps that are only possible on that chain (the other alt-l1s don’t count)
- the other can host all of those apps + an additional set of apps that no l1 can do.

what would you choose if you had a choice?

to me, the answer is pretty clear.
