In “their” interest, as in, in the interest of thousands of people that got rug pulled because of a hack

I think he’s talking about the DAO situation which was not a hack, the contract executed exactly as it was written. But it was also a long time ago.

All hacks are code executing exactly as it was written.

Not necessarily, a large class of exploit has to do with manipulating the call stack.

I wonder why do people spend their time (and money) on this? Real-world crypto is 'solved' by nano, with its feeless and instant transactions. I'm very new to the crypto world but ETH (especially BTC) seem way, way too complex, expensive and slow for any real world application. No wonder why there isn't any.

That’s why you are new. Nano ain’t anything special. It’s another PoS shitcoin that scammers promote to sell their bags. When you don’t actually do any work, it’s cheap to transit garbage

Nano does have PoW, but only on the client side as spam protection. It's quite clever actually, if someone is trying to spam the network your wallet can just include a higher difficulty PoW to get your transaction processed ahead of all the spam.
