You have said that the goal of the Ethereum protocol design is to minimize L1 protocol complexity and maximize robustness and resiliency Lets consider that just in the case of sharding vs rollups Obviously sharding is a lot more complicated for the L1 protocol.

But it is simpler for developers and users, bc it abstracts away fault proofs/validity proofs, does away with exogenous bridges, guarantees ETH fungibility (arbETH vs opETH), and more

Why is it the better choice for developers and users to minimize L1 complexity and instead push that complexity up and out to developers and users?

I think if we had gone with L1 sharding, the immensely powerful ecosystem that we have that's responsible for actually developing the infrastructure around the various L2s and scaling would just not have existed to the same extent. The L1 team was resource-constrained and focused on PoS.

That said, the "L1 core team" is stronger now, and I feel like there is a counter-movement toward more standardization across L2s. This includes: * Account abstraction (ERC 4337) * The L2 EVM effort * Standardizing the cross-domain wallet experience, including recovery * Possible L1-enshrined ZK-EVM way down the line

And of course all the work being done on DAS, first 4844 and then extending it to greater and greater data blob size. So I think the ethereum ecosystem is very capable of evolving and course-correcting, and we'll end up with something that does a good job of balancing standardization and independent innovation.
