You should also ask yourself why people who have been Bitcoin maximalists have abandoned it and ended up in Monero, and there are quite a few cases.

And more and more Bitcoiners secretly accept Monero.

Everyone has forgotten a fundamental law of social thermodynamics:

- Without privacy there is no freedom.

I am a bit naive and I still have hope that Bitcoin will solve this one way or another, and because I’m not one of those who think Monero is a substitute for Bitcoin, Monero is a completely different bet in terms of development and strategy, and in my case I consider it complementary, not a substitute.

But in the next 10 years, when Bitcoiners and more Bitcoiners are tracked and accused by the state, whether guilty or innocent, through their footprint on the blockchain, you will remember these words.

I also think you should be developing stuff on L2 since L1 is not used, and focus on what matters: privacy and decentralization on L1.
