Questions for Solana bulls from a crypto noob:

1) ETH bulls say that Solana is not really decentralized. It achieves scalability by limiting the network to only a handful of validators; why not just use AWS at that point? Why are they wrong?

2) ETH bulls say that security of a proof-of-stake is driven by total coin market cap; the more cap, the more expensive an attack. This makes ETH more secure than Solana. ETH has an unbreakable first mover advantage for this reason, they say.

3) ETH bulls say that ETH plus Polygon (or similar level two solution) is just as scalable as solana, while retaining the above two advantages of ETH. Why is that wrong?
