L2s are against crypto’s core ideology of decentralization and still people praising it

We all can agree that high gas fee isn't good. This is probably the the main reason why L2s come in play.

But L2s are so centralized. Coinbase's BASE L2 is run by just a couple servers…same goes for Arbitrum, Optimish, Starknet, Linea…

Crypto's core ideology is decentralization, what sense does it make to have one decent decentralized L1 on which dozens of very centralized L2s operating on top of it?!

If the L2 fail, your L1 coins are gone! Your L2 coins are just a mirror of the real L1 coins.

Not your keys, not your coins…this is the saying when it comes to CEXes VS self-custodial wallets, but in terms of L1 and L2s the same goes, too. If you "own" your coins on a L2, this doesn't 100% represent your coins. As long as the L2 functions, you're fine. If they fail, you can kiss your coins goodbye!

As this isn't crypto perversion enough, there are new upcoming L2s that uses EVM + SVM + Data availbility on another blockchain (I won't call out the names).

If just 1 of the underlying mechanics fail, you either lose your coins or a "backup"-functions kicks in which turns gas fee as high as on mainnet.

Building centralized architectures on top of a decentralized one is very risky and only the future will tell us what will happen.
