The Lightning Network was beautiful for a while because it met all these requisites, and it had a chance of working, but unfortunately that wasn't meant to be. Drivechains could also meet these standards, as they would necessarily have to be tacitly approved by the community at large in order to work, but I don't know what else.

Maybe Liquid and Rootstock get enough lindyness on them after so many years that they become dissociated from the companies and start to be perceived more as public goods, and that causes them to be more used? I don't know. Mercury statechains could also be a very nice neutral scaling solution if more than one company started to run a signer server.
