I see some Ethereum sidechains (Gnosis, Q Blockchain & Polygon) advertising themselves as complementary to Ethereum and being scaling solutions. Is this true or are they leaching value and users from Ethereum and only L2s are scaling solutions for Ethereum?

Also, can L2s really be considered as scaling solutions for Ethereum or are they their own networks actively siphoning users and money off of Ethereum?

I haven’t seen anyone explore this issue here before. What would the marketcap and user metrics be for Ethereum if it was scalable and everyone used ETH and only ETH for dApps?
