(Sure there are a large category of money-grab altcoin tokens as well, but it doesn't comprise *all* the network's tokens like the BRC-20 ones do.)
Point taken. The big difference is BRC-20 tokens can't offer any kind of functionality... They aren't being used for anything other than hot potato ponzinomics. I suspect we'll never see them gain functionality as it will be prohibitively expensive to move them around as compared to ETH (usually), MATIC or BSC. Besides, that's not what the players of that particular game are there for, anyway.
