You just made the BIP-110 argument.
What prices everyday people off the base layer? Bloated IBD. Expensive on-chain fees driven by inscription spam competing with real transactions. Node hardware requirements that only AWS can afford.
38.7% of the UTXO set is monkey JPEG dust worth 811 sats each. That's what's eating the base layer ordinary people need to open channels.
BIP-110 cleans the base layer so the everyday person CAN access it. Your concern is exactly our concern. We just disagree on what's causing the problem.
