The reason why this is true is because you can't finely-tune a multi-chain app. UX, flows, etc, etc all have to be done for the lowest common denominator of the chains you support unless you can have full teams maintain each. You then have 2 outcomes: → Native deployments can offer better UX for ~same product → You lose the goodwill of local users There's also the overhead of redundant systems and tracking the deviations of each chain (which you can't even tune your app to anyways). "Oh cool a new feature on MegaETH at the protocol level to make all apps better!" → "oh, well if we implement it then it breaks standard and is hard to maintain. Better off staying safe." Multi-chain might make sense at a certain level of success (Pump, Uni, AAVE, etc) but the vast, vast majority of apps should just have a home and make the best product they can where they are while enabling deposits from all chains (e.g. Polymarket approach). There are obviously pragmatic considerations that come with this like team runway, ecosystem health, etc, but I'll take the single $8 SOL builder over 100 multichain apps anyway.
