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

As politely as I can, this is super short-sighted. Smart wallets aren't for you. Smart wallets are for people that aren't onchain today, that won't pay hundreds of dollars for a username (ENS), that won't bother with a seed phrase, that dgaf about chrome extensions, and that aren't on CT.

And they outnumber us.
