ETH has fixed everything that annoyed me 4 years ago. Except sending your max ETH balance, where it's impossible to not leave some dust that will be lost forever.

It's very annoying. I get why it is how it is, but I wish at least L2s had a solution. Even if it was a special transfer op that allowed the sequencer to claim this dust as gas as part of the transaction. Or a send_max op, or something.

I feel like if there was enough motivation this could be fixed without much effort. Since 1559 automatically calcs how much a transaction fee is, you could just take it directly from the amount being transferred in a new transaction type, or op as you suggested.

I understand that there is motivation to not introduce new transaction types, but if we are all going to switch to sc wallets eventually then having an opcode that does this makes a lot of sense.
