with fee burn in EIP-1559, Ethereum made a conscious decision to enrich ETH holders more than to enrich Ethereum Stakers specifically

this was done intentionally, to limit the amount of wealth stakers would accrue over time while distributing that benefit diffusely to all ETH holders instead in the form of net supply growth which is substantially lower than Bitcoin's or any other major L1 asset

Ethereum strives to be neutral, public infrastructure ANYONE can rely on much more than it tries to be a big tech corporation. its critics miss this and will keep missing it as the factor which makes Ethereum different

the value of ETH comes from it being used a a commodity money and store of value asset in that system. it is this use, and almost nothing else, which has given it a marketcap of $300B to $600B

this is just one of the many reasons why ETH is the best decentralized, programmable store of value asset in the entire world

that's not an opinion. it is just a fact, decided by the market
