Quoting current inflation is misleading--adopters know the eventual plan for bitcoin is capped, whereas ethereum is uncapped.

A turing complete virtual machine is infinitely complicated--it can run anything. The implementation is "trivial" compared to the infinite surface area. The number of spec-pages is not a useful metric.

Social malleability is just as bad as technical malleability.

Sure, some people care about the supply decades from now. Personally I only care how much inflation happens while I'm holding the coin.
