We’re talking about what the technology can do, not what the bottom of the tech is not doing

  Sure, but those alternatives are not yet proven technologies. It's unclear for example if PoS is actually trust-worthy at scale, and we can't use Bitcoin or Ethereum's success so far to check that.

    What makes you say that? PoS coins have been running without issues for almost as long as PoW coins and as far as I know there’s been no attacks. On the other hand there’s been many 51% attacks on PoW coins.

      No major PoS coin (well, Ripple is PoS, but centralized in other ways) exists, so it may be that they haven't been attacked simply because they are too small.
