OP, but the problem, Ordinals/NFT users want to store their dick pics and fart sounds in a bank vault, not in a museum. They believe it's part of the attraction, and part of what makes them "more valuable".

BUT I believe some of them, especially the plebs, will concede that the inefficiency and the costs are not worth the costs on their capital. It also gives speculators some opportunities to do some shitcoinery.

Stacks has a token, STX, which might surge during the next bull cycle, and there's also another offchain/layer 2 network called MintLayer, which will have its own token soon. The most compelling one is LayerTwo Labs. No token, just Drivechains, https://layertwolabs.com/
