It feels like this proposal is basically saying, “Look, these volatile assets keep putting the protocol at risk, and the revenue they bring in is tiny, so it is time to scale them back.” The data makes it clear that the recent price swings and slow oracle updates opened the door for bad trades that hurt the system. Turning off borrowing and dropping their LTV to zero sounds like a practical move that keeps Aave steady instead of letting a few unstable assets shake things up again. It is a small tradeoff for a much safer market
