The "onchain" narrative is a bit weird to me because it's like flexing about being "onAWS" or "oncloud"

A chain is only one part of your tech stack. In fact, having to compose everything onchain is an anti-pattern that emerged because light client support sucks

Offchain is more expressive, safe, and cost efficient

I think the term has its place. When cloud storage first became a thing, "in the cloud" meant it was resilient (not lost if your PC died) and accessible from anywhere. That's the same with "onchain". Onchain doesn't mean "better in every way", it just means impervious to loss or counterfeiting and globally accessible.
