Have miners launched sidechains before? This seems kind of weird.

not as far as i know.
the sentiment on twitter from bitcoiners is very negative, but i’m glad these kinds of experiments are being run.
at the same time, i have no clue if they’ll be successful here… will be interesting to watch.

afaict they aren't doing anything new except this side-sidechain thing. Whatever keeps people away from other bitcoin sidechains applies here because it's otherwise identical in all but superficial ways (absent this 2nd degree sidechain thing which is mostly one further degree not bitcoin). But maybe other sidechains don't see much use because their superficials are wrong.

It sounds exactly like Rootstock, but claims to facilitate side-sidechains.

good point, it shows an attempt at expanding their revenue prospects and de-coupling them from the asic rat race they’re engaged in right now

It also shows that they're confident enough people will trust them not to do any kind of rug pulling. This service seems like a great way for chain exploiters to cash out into BTC.
at least that's the first thought I had

If it's on top of bitcoin, I praise it...
Bitcoin is now shaping its own ecosystem.
