the real pmf of narrow fee markets is being able to claim "lower median fees" and gaslight users with "works for me" while they try to interact with congested contracts at the limit, load balancing hot spot contracts runs into similar interop challenges as based rollups, without any of the other benefits of rollups

If everyone wants to go through a single door then the issues with demand will always be there, no matter what chain it is on The difference is that isolating the demand to that app/contract makes it a better experience for all the other users on that network who want to perform an action with any other app/contract

Better experience for whom exactly? Making it better for the median user does not make it better for all users. It does not make it better for the people trading $TRUMP after a news event. It does not making it better for the person who is about to be liquidated on a busy lending contract.

Making it better for the median user makes it more attractive to the marginal new user (which everyone wants) Are there exceptions? Absolutely and some of those exceptions may result in a less than ideal user experience. This is true on basically any chain or app that has a lot of demand -- When demand is extremely high, the user experience can suffer

What is the point of a blockchain in your view? Why are we even here? If it's just to serve the median user while throwing the outliers under the bus, then what's even the point?

Global permissionless network that's interoperable and programmable It's not just to serve the median user but we should care a lot about the median user's experience as much (if not more) than the users at the extreme edges
