I would say the only merit to that is one plan for Ethereum mainnet’s roadmap is to introduce pruning, deleting old data for real, specifically smart contract states and held variables

This seems like it would break many smart contracts sometime later this decade, this isn't currently fleshed out

That aside, no other EVM is planning to do that, all code is compatible on all of them, and it doesn’t matter what Ethereum’s blockchain does

Having a roadmap is no merit. A roadmap means the system is centralized because a core group of people can change the rules. If it's centralized it's not censorship resistant and the supply can't be guaranteed to not increase and dilute holders therefore it's garbage.
Okay, like I wrote - its one roadmap. Its not the only one and its also not fully fleshed out

Do you have any thoughts on the points I made instead of centralization/maxi copypasta?

If it's centralized it's garbage and it doesn't matter whatever its roadmap is. Also ETH wont implement sharding because its breaks composability. It's just marketing.
This is rich. Bitcoin is literally controlled by a group called Bitcoin Core and yes they did change the rules when they refused to change the block size as Satoshi and the community intended. They neutered Bitcoin for life by making it top out at a useless 7 transactions per second forever.
