Uniswap founder: Ethereum L2 should not focus on immutability until L1 is ready

On June 10th, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams wrote on the X platform yesterday that the L2 chain, which focuses on Ethereum scaling, should not focus on immutability (i.e. the ability to retain an immutable and immutable transaction ledger) until the Ethereum blockchain is ready. Adams says Ethereum L2 should not be immutable. It's been 10 years and L1 is not ready to be immutable. It's "pointless" to expect that the L2 network "will never upgrade again or force mass migrations". He explains that if some migrate and some don't, the interconnected nature of users and applications on the L2 chain destroys composability. The Ethereum Foundation has said that the L2 chain is its scaling plan. Adams responded that the whole plan to scale Ethereum is'L2 ', and we either make them work or change the roadmap (I'm leaning towards the former). Calling them money grabs (or) saying they need to be immutable doesn't change that. They are expensive to build, and L1 didn't fund the work either.
