For public chains, relying solely on TPS theory is a very lazy behavior, just like 10 years ago when a bunch of mobile phone manufacturers held press conferences to boast about how high their benchmark scores surpassed Apple, or in recent years when a bunch of car manufacturers held press conferences to boast about how long their battery life surpassed Tesla, but those former high benchmark phone kings and new forces with long battery life ultimately became industrial waste and were discarded in the ruts of history. In engineering, technical indicators are the easiest to quantify and achieve. If a manufacturer constantly boasts about its technical indicators, it must mean that it is guilty and incompetent in competing in the real business field, because the competitive ability that can truly stand out cannot be quantified or even the direction is uncertain. It requires more bottomless investment compared to achieving visible technical indicators. You can interpret these self congratulatory industrial wastes as small-town swot who have not yet gone to college and been beaten by the society (no offense) because they have reached certain technical indicators. I really think that memorizing more words can count as equations soon, and then you can climb the top CEO to marry Bai Fumei and become a winner in life. This is also the reason why Ethereum, led by VC, and the entire Infra field have seen a large number of abnormal "king level" projects. Big money only flows towards certainty, leading to a bunch of deterministic projects such as Starknet and Scroll, which are known for their performance. This has attracted a group of VCs to flock to them. After all, when VCs report to LPs why they want to invest in these industrial wastes, they can give a seemingly comprehensive and convincing report, thus forming a vicious cycle of constantly producing industrial wastes.
