There is nothing complex about it. At some point toward global adoption you'll have huge blocks on average and an increasing centralizing issue because not anyone's terminal would be performant enough to run a node.

Do you really believe Bitcoin can scale toward global adoption right now when it's well known that not even lightning can do this? With a large enough and sustained spike in adoption Bitcoin would break just as easily (practically unusable due to fees and confirmation times, and increased centralization because if the average user can't afford to use the network why in the hell would they run a node?). We see this literally every time there is a modest increase in use. Even lightning breaks when mempool is congested.

Bitcoin hasn't avoided future centralization issues yet either.

If Bitcoin in it's much larger usage and popularity has time to figure it out then so does Monero

Is there any way to figure this out though. I don't think this problem can be resolved without some complex off chin lightning type model, which is an awful solution to the problem. It needs to be baked in and I see nothing that can even theoretically address this problem with bitcoin or monero.
