Can anyone explain this
One of many open research questions u/Rucknium has listed here (under "Reducing or eliminating 10 block lock with acceptable drawbacks"). There is a chance of it being reduced but its "complicated"

Research Ideas for Monero
Welcome! I wrote this list of Monero's open research questions: https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/94

A Newsletter from the 2022 MAGIC Monero Fund
We also established an official list of topics we want to fund, expanding on the broad space of Monero. This is intended to help people realize actual tasks they may want to complete on behalf of Monero, rather than just the idea of tasks, and extends Monero's open research questions. We're further interested in security proofs, ensuring Monero's integrity, historic and present, and work on arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs. Arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs would remove ring signatures, and the statistical analysis possible on them, entirely, for complete privacy of which output you're spending.

Creating a totally public view only XMR wallet
There is actually something called a "truncated address", which is transparent by default. It is mentioned in the original CryptoNote whitepaper on page 8, but I don't think the official wallet software supports it. You could emulate it by calculating the view key manually as a = H(B).

Why im against hard forks (i like backwards-compatible forks though). As a developer. I expect I wont be agreed with, and thats okay.
Monero's privacy (i.e. fungibility) guarantees, while being extremely good, are still not mature enough to ossify the protocol yet, see here;

Monero Wallet Backdoor Attempt

Feather Wallet 2.0.0 released
The proof-of-concept 14-word monero-seed library that Feather used before 2.0.0 is now obsolete. It is succeeded by Polyseed. Generating 14-word seeds is no longer supported, all new wallets use Polyseed. Both schemes are similar in functionality. Like monero-seed, Polyseed has an embedded wallet creation date. Erasures are currently not supported. We will continue to support restoring 14-word seeds indefinitely. It is not possible to convert a 14-word seed into a Polyseed. To switch to Polyseed you must create a new wallet and send over your funds. A Polyseed can be converted into an equivalent 25 word seed + restore height in the Seed dialog, so the wallet can be restored in other Monero wallets.

Monero has a serious user friendly problem
There is a proposal for a more user-friendly mnemonic seed that has the restore height baked in. Unfortunately, it hasn't been implemented in the official wallet software yet.

Feather Wallet Beta-4 released
It is part of Tevador's 14 word seed spec that Feather uses: https://github.com/tevador/monero-seed
