Sorta. The design goals changed a bit over the years. Originally the design goal was trustless p2p money. Now we've settled for 'digital gold' or 'p2p fedwire' or whatever you want to call it. And yes, it does that fantastically.

But those of us who want to have a money free from banks still need to solve scalability and fungibility. I agree we shouldn't add those features directly into Bitcoin; Bitcoin's immutability is one of its greatest features. Trustless L2's is the way you get those features and build bankless money without building those features into Bitcoin itself.
