The reasoning "because we will scale it off-chain, on-chain scaling is a waste of time" must stop because it's so stupid. They are not mutually exclusive.

They are exclusive at this time. We have entirely exhausted the capacity for on chain scaling. There are technologies that might improve that situation, but until they are tested we cannot precommit to using the gained space.
