I think ETH should have been classified as one too, due to its ICO. Making an exemption for that was a mistake...

The primary use cases of ETH are changing state of the network and collateral for state change validation. Requester pays to effect change and some ETH is burnt and some goes to validators to incentivize operation. What other security does that? I don’t expect profit when using it to change state of the network.

Let's ask Gensler what are his thoughts about ETH then

That's amazing on the level of refusal to answer a simple question.
