Considering aye...
Damn that's sold me I'm all in.
Jokes aside though I respect your input because you do see things realistically.
That was my point too if you didn't know.. that years of people saying "Hive is the best it's just flying under the radar" got to be somewhat of a cringe since crypto enthusiasts in a nutshell do specifically look for things yet to go boom!
But boom is not come Señor.
Like you say there's the building yet to actually take place.. at scale.. where diamonds in the rough rise in similar fashion to how SplinterLands so did.
What is evident around here is that Hive Power Elite (HPE) are skinny on ideas or the commitment and resources that they require in order to deliver end product.
Case in point: Ragnarok
Seeded by the mind of 
It's funny that when Hive was born it mocked Blurt as the black sheep and celebrated Hive as THE REAL COMMUNITY that the chain lives on through...
OK,
Cute.. I cried a little.
But NOW?
It's a bit of a bitter sweet thing.
THAT COMMUNITY is predominately poor countries and HPE would rather they BLURT OFF! And so killing REWARDS FOR BLOGGERS might be the equivalent of KILLING THE BUFFALO for the... Eradication of the natives..
Not cute,
Lots of crying by many.
But OK,
Unspoken vision: Make Hive attract mainstream users... or not so many poor pricks who only take and have little to give (spoils for HPE) ..
And so the ONLY QUESTION that now matters is:
What's BUILDING on HIVE that WILL do THAT?
Ragna(sinking)rok?
Speak(issues)Tv?
SPK(dluxplaything)network?
Leo(whynumbernotup)finance?
Podping(lightingnodeintelaviv)London?
So maybe you get my point?
That yeah there's things here building... but nothing that's going to break out.
Hive stagnation evident.
Else finding a chain with potential.. sitting at half a buck.. in a bear market.. when even a whisper of "web3" gives everyone a hard on..
Would be impossible to fly under any radar.
