Does this mean Polygon will become obsolete when Ethereum moves to PoS?

>when Ethereum moves to PoS

The Sun having entered the red giant phase will take out Polygon long before Ethereum actually moves to PoS.

If you don't think it'll happen 2022, I have some Ethereum Classic to sell you.
No if it really becomes an L2 (currently it's just a sidechain). L2s are here to stay as the scaling solution unless Ethereum change their minds on what direction to go in again.
