Unfortunately block size is not the limiting factor

Main chain transactions have to be broadcast and stored on every node in
the network which, as you know, cannot scale to the level of Uber payments

Lighting and possibly ark are solutions to this problem

Both require covenant tech of some kind to scale properly (nonrecursive is
fine)

Covenant tech (any will do, arguing about which is bike shedding at this
point) allows people to share utxos and yet still maintain sovereignty over
their assets
