Oh for sure, yes, but I was referring to your comments about preferring that no whales are involved in Hive in order to maximise decentralisation. You would really need to be a whale or similar to invest the full 32ETH. If the actual cost is split down to fractions via pooling then maybe it's an irrelevant point.

I agree there is a real chance that ETH or other similar chains provide an environment where running an entire Hive-like chain is as simple as it currently is to create a layer 2 token on Hive Engine. Once transaction costs are lowered on the big networks it is only a logical progression for such dApps to emerge.
