Second, the only way to have a trustless pegout would be for nodes to verify the sidechain rules. This would kill decentralization. Trusting the miners with the peg out is a simple solution that has good tradeoffs (svp wallet users (the majority of Bitcoin users) already trust the miners). So to say that the lack of a trustless pegout is a problem is also wrong.

A layer 1 node doesn’t need to validate Lightning transactions.
The same can be achieved for other layer 2 networks offering privacy / throughput / data storage etc.
Yes, that'drivechains. Layer one nodes don't need to validate the pegout
