I think prior to 2020 the majority of people who used or supported bitcoin held the common opinion of an inclusive, permission-less, global currency that preserved value.

Since then I think there are many bitcoiners who appreciate the aspect of no inflation and number go up, but are fine with permission.

This has lead the community to think there are two teams, SoV vs. MoE(Or who is allowed to use bitcoin). Parker correctly points out that these two attributes are symbiotic and one doesn't survive without the other, but it still won't stop "bitcoiners" from trying to make layer two permission systems on top of bitcoin and keep fiat permission alive.

Great take.

We know not everybody will be able to self-custody - Bitcoin on layer 1 cannot even support everybody who has a cellphone to make 1 self custody transaction per day.

What is important is that people understand that somebody around them can still verify, spend, and interact with the base layer - and that those people serve as the hubs and guardians for ensuring the layer 2s are not perpetuating fraudulent bitcoin
