Selected claim, opposing its parent
Opening your own SPO is a “straw man” argument. There are many reasons this is not possible, because of lack of access to infrastructure, financial means, and technical ability.
Pros
Cons
Con claim 1, children below
You are assuming that all spo will be contingent staking. There is a huge incentive to either run legal non cs pools or run grey market pools. Just look a grey market stock issuance. Definitely a thing. You don't have to run your own pool just stake with a non cs spo.
Con claim 2, children below
Not everyone needs to run their own pool. Any one person with the means to run one can create one that doesn't use Contingent Staking, in a completely permissionless way. Then anyone can freely delegate to that pool.
Con claim 3
Conclave will help reduce the burden, cost, and barrier of entry to many individuals.
