I think that even if we end up with multiple popular implementations, being a maintainer of a popular one will be a horrendous job. It's kind of like being a mod for a popular subreddit or running a social media platform: you can never please everybody, and somebody will always react badly.

This goes for most FOSS nowadays. Hasn't been nice since covid really. Too many people are convinced they can do better, and then deliver crap.

Midsized... I'm not even sure that SN is that big.

It took 15 years for Bitcoin to become a Store of Value (albeit a volatile one).
IMO it takes another 15 years to become a widespread medium of exchange SN is just the first evidence of that, using the Lightning Network.
