> i feel like fractured mempools are inevitable.
Can you try to spell this out? I don't think it is uniformly achievable either, but I think effort should be spent to at least nudge people into the direction.
(On my phone, so hard to structure my replies, free wheeling the rest 😛)
The organisation that sponsors my work, has also spent very considerable resources on stratumv2 on every layer of its protocol. That seems like a fair allocation of resources to me. Was their effort misguided and their stack worthless?
Bitcoin Core devs working on the mempool also spend way less time on what I'd call "uniformity enforcement" and better templates, than they do making sure transactions confirm when the user expects them to and that they can't be pinned, which is crucial for any L2, but especially for lightning.
I think the asymmetry in resource allocation you perceive is mostly a symptom of where people perceive the risk and have clear agency to act. It might be less clear to people what the pool forest is and what the concrete steps to solve it are.
