Shorter blocktimes has other types of problems (higher orhpanrate, insuance change etc.) & is more intrusive than implementing somehting like Avalanche for fast tx finality.

If you want speed, you really need PoS or BGP validators, or maybe *maybe* DAGs. But not PoW.
If you want best assurance of decentralization, you really need PoW on COTS chips(RandomX)

PoS is synonymous with "cannot be made fungible" and "perverse incentives for holders of large reserves", which are exactly the fucking problems Bitcoin was created to eliminate.
