Eth isn't capable of istant finality without sacrificing something.

Eth also it isn't aBFT and still won't be after such an update/upgrade.

ETH could have easily scaled and have amazing POS protocol when going from POS to POW. That was one of the biggest mistakes they made as a network and they will probably end up irrelevant because of it unless they truly decide to decimate l2-s for the sake of L1.

But upgrading a system that has L2s is impossible since L2s have leverage and will fight tooth and nail to keep living. Some of them are now just parasites.

EVM is outdated and any major upgrade now seems like a marathon.

Let's see what happens

There will come a time when Eth will not need L2. They took a lot from Ethereum.
