An important point here is that unlike ETH, Bitcoin and Lightning operating on the second layer can handle this traffic with ZERO on-chain congestion and problems.

I tried to sync Ethereum full node and it was too slow for me to handle, I then tried to sync pruned node and it was also too slow. I can't even imagine how bad it is now, and how horrible it will be in the future. And it's not like I have slow internet, other people reported the same problems, even some experts. I think coins with this model of scaling should stop being called cryptocurrencies at some point when their network of nodes run by community will turn into small network of datacenters, which would heavily resemble some networks that we have today, like Visa and Mastercard.
