Rootstock is 2/3 the size of lightning and caters largely to users in countries where holding USD is difficult or illegal. It generates over 1 btc in txn fees every month paid to btc miners. All of this is besides the point that drivechains allow for far more than a Bitcoin native EVM. Just be proud as a bitcoiner your node is helping secure the savings for marginalized communities out there! (Check the most recent coinbase for RSKBLOCK it's already merge mined)
