Better to have a ''steady'' market than random 10% changes. I personally think Bitcoin is holding really well and this was in fact a really healthy correction after quite an unhealthy move, 4k to 14k in 3 months? Clearly needed a big correction, it is better this way, we were getting close to a similar early 2018 situation.
Huh? You expect that we are going back to a bear market, already? Early 2018 was the beginning of a bear market. Some of us just did not realize it until about mid-November 2018.
Seems that our current situation is not really too comparable to early 2018, so you are throwing in quite the zinger with that kind of attempted comparison.

4k to 14k in 3 months is indeed unhealthy. But so is 20k to 6k in a few months.
Many of the biggest stated misgivings were often about excessive price volatility. If price stayed around (+/-5%) 10k until 2021, might that improve adoption ?
No. That is a bunch of bullshit to attempt to ascribe unrealistic scenarios onto bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not likely to be stable until it reaches gold market cap parity minimum, but likely bitcoin is going to need about 5x to 10x of gold's market cap before it begins to even come close to reaching some kind of meaningful price stability.
In other words, we are way too damned early to even expect something that is not likely to be in bitcoin's cards, and who gives any shits about what is being projected upon bitcoin in terms of "what bitcoin needs." To run the risk of repetition: I would ascribe "price stability" as unrealistic expectations that frequently comes from disingenuous folks, not folks who really understand where we are at with bitcoin in terms of our early adoption stage.
