They prepared the shitcoin networks for USDt, though. Priorities I guess.

 It's mainly built for users in LatAm, where the easiest way to escape their currencies and transact is in USDT (usually over Tron).

 This is an important point. And it's hard to weigh trade-offs where some things are a slippery slope but other things are worth the risks. I have never been completely comfortable with blockstreams relationship with tether but I also see that there are real world reasons why it is useful like the one just described.
