Isn't this a fundamental change in the economic expectations as proposed by the system's creator, who planned to increase onchain capacity as far back as 2010?

I don't know the mind of the Satoshi I wouldn't care to. Bitcoin is an algorithm with empirical properties that are discovered, not created. It is what it is and we need to deal with that. (I would also be dubious of anyone's beliefs regarding bitcoin in 2010. There's a lot we didn't know then.)
