Imo an underappreciated benefit of Proof-of-Stake lies in the competitive dynamics for validators and the activation of the token holder community.
Validators (and more recently also LSTs/vaults/curators) basically do BD/institutional education on behalf of chains, as well as create tooling, research, and content benefiting the ecosystem in the pursuit of attracting stake.
In a Proof-of-Governance model, there may be no additional incentive for validators to do anything but running infra as they don't stand to gain additional revenues.
