The third time I hear people hype up "modularization," I’ll ask on behalf of regular users: what’s the fundamental difference when I open my wallet, sign, or transfer? Honestly, you don’t need to care who’s the execution layer and who’s the data layer; you only care about two things: no lag, low cost, and no scams. If modularization is truly useful, it should make switching chains as smooth as changing subway lines, not making me choose from a dozen bridges that "look like they haven’t run away."
And then there’s that old story of blockchain game economies collapsing: inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, token prices spiral, and in the end, users get blamed. If modularization only helps project teams issue tokens faster and do "growth" more quickly, I’d rather it be slower. The proposal describes "more flexibility" in dazzling terms, but who bears the risk and who takes the profits—can’t you hide that in the footnotes? Anyway, when I see the "modular narrative" now, my first reaction isn’t excitement, it’s to want to review the budget sheet.
