- Some people want a chain half way between Ethereum and AWS. Games items for example don't need all the security of Ethereum.

- 90% of crypto is still speculators who only care about cashing out before the collapse, if Solana lives only a few years that is fine by them.

The more cynical view: many people had no technical need for a chain whatever, but wanted to “rub some crypto” on their project to get some hype-driven cash.
