What are your thoughts on nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 ‘s argument that Drive Chain is necessary to scale bitcoin to the masses?

Drivechain doesnt scale Bitcoin. It enables sidechains constrained by miners and tokens on one Drivechain are not compatible with another. This is the same fundamental limiting factor of Fedimint and Ark and other sidechains like Liquid. Moving from one to another to transact takes a minimum of 2 onchain tx or some form of atomic swap or trusted intermediary

Not true

Which part do you disagree with

Drivechain tokens could be cross compatible

It can be with atomic swaps or a trusted intermediary, neither of which exist today. There may be other solutions as well, but the inherent drive chain design does not address and by default each side chain via drive chain is its own encumbered token.

As long as you recognize they can be.

Lighting has a drive chain port called thunder, so a txn could never even see main

That just allows sending tokens of that type through a lightning network

Wrong

Thunder is NOT sending bitcoin in this context with Drivechain. Its sending a separate asset

Correct, i misread "a" as "the" in your reply, i thought you were saying through the existing lightning network.
