It sacrifices decentralization and requires highly performant/expensive hardware to operate a node.

And don't try to compare that with L2 because there's a huge difference with having this happen at the base layer.

But the centralised L2 means your transaction may not make it to the slow L1.

If you're talking about censorship, you can use the escape hatch if needed

It's weird how the Blockchain has become the equivalent of courts with expensive legal fees.
