*totally* agree on this one. Thing is, if you think of the wallet itself (seed phrase) as an abstraction for a whole person (identity) then all of the potential derived public keys could be sub-identities. One controller, but with discretion to use the sub-IDs however they want!

curious - what do you think are the refreshing differentiators against comparable web2 elements like google sso etc (aside from the common reasons like decentralization, etc)? I had 4 unique wallets with 4 seed phrases, and overwrote on two of them by mistake. just assessing practical lego pieces of web3

whoa, is it possible to have multiple public keys that are derived from the same private key or seed phrase?

This is why Eth L2 is better than alt-L1s, identity-wise: a pubkey can have the same address across multiple L2s, but it likely has different address on alt-L1s. "Oh, it's the same address on this different L2 chain, it must be the same person."
