>>L2 solutions: yes they do indeed scale them, but it appears to be a centralised solution to a decentralised problem. In other words, putting lipstick on a pig.
L2 block selection can be entirely decentralized. The first iterations are centralized because the software is extremely immature and having the block inclusion process centralized allows bugs to be more quickly and effectively dealt with. The major L2s all have decebtralization of coordinators in their roadmaps.
>>Stablecoins aren’t volatile, correct, but that’s because they are pegged to an offchain fiat currency or other form of “real” collateral. Even DAI, which is the most “truly” decentralised stablecoins of them all, is pegged against fiat.
Dai is pegged to the dollar, but can use entirely on-chain assets like ETH as collateral. Other stablecoins, like RAI, are not even pegged to any fiat currency, and use only on-chain assets for collateral.
>>POS is good yes, but the Eth community have been saying this for a long time now.
Progress has been made. On December 1st, 2020, the Proof of Stake Beacon Chain.
The Merge, which will complete the transition to the Beacon Chain, now has a testnet, launched on December 20th, 2021:

The transition should be complete within a year. It can't be rushed, given the amount of financial value involved.
