Where is Bitcoin headed? Does it still have the "cypherpunk" goals?

Genuine question, please be respectful. Is Bitcoin ever going to attempt to scale on the L1? or is it just going to count on institutions/third parties to distribute paper bitcoin to the world?

I know Bitcoin is infinitely divisible and limited in supply. These strengths make it one of a kind, but does it really matter if it can't be distributed to the whole world fairly and without censorship? Is there any innovation planned or are we forever stuck on neutral gear for the L1 from the moment Satoshi left and forever into the future?
