> that would make Bitcoin accessible for everyday transactions for millions/billions of people, are not even being attempted
I'm not sure if that's correct. There's absolutely no way bitcoin can support that many transactions with just sane blocksize increase.
As I've said in my other comments, bitcoin is a research facility, not a product, so it's somewhat understandable people are going with their own research directions.
People currently have huge expectations out of an immature technology. It's equivalent to expecting the Internet of the 80s to support MMORPGs with thousands of players, the protocols just weren't mature enough.
