on layer 2, there is this horrible proposal called TARO, which makes use of taproot and pretends to bring digital assets to the LN, such as stablecoins, arbitrary tokens, nfts, etc.
Big difference is that this stable coins on LN and other layer2 is backed only by Bitcoin, and they don't need other centralized shitcoin blockchain.
I would not keep anything is stable coins long term, but I could see bug use case for them in some real decentralized exchange, as alternative to fiat currencies.
We could argue that most of the current stable coins wouldn't exist if we had something similar on Bitcoin.
Saying that regulators will now attack Bitcoin because of LN is hilarious to me.
we would be better off undoing taproot via a fork with at least a 95% consensus threshold of full nodes and miners. This would probably take some years to implement a safe code to undo/block taproot; in the meantime, we would have to tolerate taproot in the blockchain.
GO ahead and make a proposal.
There is no single authority who makes decisions in Bitcoin, and I don't think we should fork anything or ''undone'' Taproot at all.
Also, I think these kinda of softforks should not happen anymore. Only forks that fix bugs, fix vulnerabilities, enhance security, but not forks that "add cool features".
Oh yeah, ban all softworks

I don't know if you live under the rock, but Taproot can really improve privacy a lot, and it's not here because of ''cool features''.
