This is exactly the problem I see with Ethereum right now. 
The ETH community brags about fairness, openness, pluralism, and so on, but there's a clear disconnect between their words and actions. In contrast, the Solana community rarely displays this kind of dissonance. 

For example, it's evident that the vast majority of Solana community is willing to die on the hill of short-term thinking to achieve short-term goals, all in the hope that their thesis proves correct—and they don’t just talk about it; they act on it with unity.

The same liquidity and 'price fragmentation' issues we see with the L2s route in Ethereum are mirrored in its social layer. What a bummer.
