there are certainly benefits to l2's. but none of them are devoid of downsides. you're just conveniently ignoring them.
monero's additional complexity is certainly a trade-off.
but institutional adoption is also a trade-off.
Monero is at ATH in price, hash power and number of operating nodes. that isn't fragility.
I said that bitcoiners are like no coiners because they autistically insist that only the primitives that they understand are worthy of trust.
The number of people who trust *different and more complex* cryptographic primitives will only increase as time goes on.
