i believe you have been captured by narratives that DC presents GOOD UTILITY THINGS ONLY, and you really need to examine the people that are presenting it that way. The crypto industry is flailing around to justify its existence right now, and the only asset that the SEC says is unequivocally safe is bitcoin. Is it any surprise to you that everyone is now trying to cram every silicon valley shitcoin utility narrative into bitcoin? First ordinals. Now drivechains.

A End-2-encrypted bitcoin sidechain seems very useful to me as way to be traceless from the state and onchain analytic companies. Privacy is true freedom rather than using public ledger for every single transaction.
But it looks like you have already made up your mind.
Apologies for autocorrect:
