this is incorrect. the EVM did not fall out of the sky. people had to do development work to create the EVM and make it useful. many more people work on the EVM compared to bitcoin, and it is so successful that it collects more fee revenue than the bitcoin network. it is also the most popular bitcoin scaling solution. if nothing at all was achieved, ETH would not be more valuable today than its ICO price. to say that "he got free" is simply a lie.
bitcoin maximalists have bent over backwards to make sure that absolutely nothing was done to ensure bitcoin collects more fee revenue or attracts more developers than ethereum. bitcoin used have all the fee revenue, all the users, and all the devs. even vitalik was a bitcoin developer. all of this was given away. in your stubborn inaction you permit ethereum to exist. vitalik is in his big house. every night he gets on his knees, tears streaming down his face. "thank you, premature ossification."
I don't know what possesses you to LARP as someone who keeps track of ethereum development. The switch to proof of stake was planned and communicated many years in advance. Users were given a choice to stay behind on the fork that kept proof of work and the market allowed that fork to die off.
the L1 is scaling more, and there were really good enhancements in the node software to make it more efficient. they did a ton of crazy work on how nodes are able to communicate transactional data to each other and check if it's there. when you see bitcoin developers tearing each other's faces off over stupid things like mempool filters, you just don't see these same kinds of problems in the ethereum development scene. there is also healthy client diversity. rollup L2s with centralized sequencers are still dominating the transaction volume. the most popular ones have forced inclusion and unilateral exit and they are not particularly dangerous to use, but people think it needs to get better. tornadocash got replaced with railgun. nobody cares about tornadocash anymore. account abstraction is helping with a lot of UX issues in dapps. if a dapp is built with this, you don't need to perform manual approvals or have any gas token.
