Why do you assume Drivechain introduces "a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer"? It's such a simple upgrade. SegWit and Taproot were much more complex.

I don't get your point. Centralized shitcoin projects already exist and many of them have a centralized peg to Bitcoin, but their shitcoin is the native currency and a fundamental part of everything. Drivechain is about making non-shitcoin projects that use Bitcoin, help Bitcoin, pay fees to Bitcoin and increase Bitcoin network-effect.
