You mean like Taproot? Drivechain is a breeze of simplicity, and activating it could mean a nice and clean ossification for Bitcoin.

When you're a hammer the whole world is a nail. Just because it might be technically simple dosnt mean it's low risk.
Technical experts I respect disagree with each other a lot more on the incentive risk of drivechains than taproot. Even taproot had unintended consequences regarding ordinals (which I don't view as a threat, but the unintended usage of the witness space like that is not a great sign from a risk management perspective).
But I think more importantly, bitcoin is valuable specifically because it's hard to change. That's the killer feature. If it's easy to change, it's really not that important of a project in the long arc of history. So for that reason, to the extent that people want to make contentious changes, I would likely oppose them by default with whatever tools I have (my node, my voice, my money, etc) unless or until they are not very contentious (eg like taproot initially was). So from that perspective, I can go from neutral on a change to opposing a change, based on the method of trying to make that change a reality.
And continues hard to change, but doesn't mean it can't change. Drivechain was proposed a long time ago. I think it's time to happen.
Is “long ago” the right metric? If I propose 1 GB blocks long ago, should we change to that after a decade?
If anything we could argue the opposite. Drivechain came before Taproot but Taproot leapfrogged it, because it was less contentious.
Imo the metric that really matters is supermajority support. I resist any change, even ones I like, that lacks supermajority support, because at the end of the day, that near-immutability is the foundation of the monetary premium of this whole project.
#Inscriptions may have to go. And Taproot may have to go along with it..🤔
"If it ain't broke don't fix it" it ain't broke except for #inscriptions..👎
Drivechain is indeed a breeze for simplicity. If anyone has any doubts, they should go read BIP119 and then go read BIP300.
