If you ask the cryptocurrency subreddit, the best thing to do with any money you have[1] is to buy ETH at any price and stake it (i.e. lock it in and receive interest until ETH 2.0 is released). I find that absolutely mindblowing given all the complexity you're pointing out + the fact that there is no date and no clear explanation of what happens to the funds in the event of failure. And on top of this the fact that most people are doing the staking through exchanges because they don't have the required 32 ETH to do it themselves, it looks like a giant disaster waiting to happen.
And somehow Ethereum is one of the most positively viewed cryptocurrencies out there. I don't get it.
[1] This is only a mild exaggeration.

Not completely convinced about their 2021/2022 timeframe. All the validator deposits are public data; how would they be destroyed? The funds will have to be unlocked at some point, people will demand it.
