If an L2 gains a lot of usage and TVL, what incentive does it have to keep using and paying for ETH’s security rather than forking ETH to create its own L1 that is secured by its own token. This new L1 might have worse security properties but this seems like a trade off some may choose to make

possible! But: - Security isn't free! Such an L2 would have to start paying for its own security, e.g. thru inflation - L2 clients may optimize more for performance vs decentralization, making it challenging to become an L1 again - You might not keep your TVL if you are suddenly far less secure than every other L2
