It does potentially compromise the security and integrity of the base layer, that's my point. If for example it makes a miner more profit to reorg the base layer because of the ordering of transactions in a side chain then you have just incentivized a miner to reorganize the base layer block order which is literally an attack on the "security and integrity" of the base layer.
Discussion
Such a scenario would need to be evaluated more in depth with actual numbers of what a malicious miner could earn vs what it could loose but still it would require taking of the majority hash-power. But here, you also assume that if a new incentive is created only one miner would go after it which is not how it would work from a game theory perspective. Although, it may be a fair concern that’s one that requires more analysis to either be uphold or ruled out.

The biggest danger of any softfork is the unknown shit that you've just added that won't be fully understood until it's live. The spamming of witness data was not the intention of taproot, but that's what we got.
Drivechains and covenants are both potentially ways that the centralized powers in the works can use to attack bitcoin.
Keep it simple. We don't need shitcoins on bitcoin.
As far as I'm concerned Bitcoin is feature complete. Maintenance must continue forever but the feature set should be a lock. Working as intended. Anything you do to try to improve it is a bigger danger than benefit.
Name one software that has ever been feature complete. Software only reaches EOL.
cat
Cat is bash command.
No it's not. It's a compiled command part of GNU. You can execute it with a bash command, but it is a normal piece of software that has been feature complete for what, 50 years or more, thereby giving you an example.
I'm surprised that a software engineer of your caliber didn't understand what 'cat' was.
How ? How would a miner profit from a reorg ? Give an explicit scenerio.
(Yes, this has been answered many times)
👆@BitcoinStu It would be great if you could provide more details on the attack scenario you mentioned.

This subject has been debated at length in the mailing list, refer to that
You made the claim and have read BIP 300/1, to speak so confidently about it. You're not hand shoveling poop from other miscreants, so, just summerize a scenario. If it's such a likely and intrinsic outcome , it should be quite simple to do.

More fud as real world pressures knock former narratives down and only DC remains.
