Imo Katyal wouldn't meet the same stakes I'm suggesting are present for Grewal.

Katyal is famous for being an advocate at the highest level - arguing zealously for his clients in high stakes scenarios. Grewal is different: he is famous for being a neutral third party (a judge) in high stakes scenarios. Judges are respected in a different way from lawyers. They're expected to be above reproach, basically. And now one is arguing on behalf of Coinbase.
