There is a deep philosophical reason why epoch-and-slot architectures seem to be so hard to avoid: it inherently takes less time to come to approximate agreement on something, than to come to maximally-hardened "economic finality" agreement on it.

Epoch-and-slot architectures offer a faster way to reach approximate agreement compared to achieving "economic finality." This philosophical insight sheds light on the challenges and benefits of different consensus mechanisms.
