I mean I'm also disappointed by the slow pace of the transition, but they are clearly making progress towards it.

They've been _planning_ to move to PoS for ~3 years, with a much too optimistic timeline. In the meantime a lot of companies working towards that have collapsed or refocused on other efforts, delaying the whole transition. It will probably take another ~3 years (my personal estimate) until the transition is reasonably finished and core parts of the ecosystems have migrated, but at least it's moving into the right direction.

PoS has always been on the roadmap even before their ICO. But yes, with a MUCH more optimistic timeline.

Yes, but back then nothing more than the first few ideas towards their PoS existed IIRC.

2-3 years ago is when the Casper FFG paper was published and subsequently the architecture of Ethereum 2.0 (and the concrete 3-phase roadmap towards it) were published.
