Basically all (hardly even an exaggeration!) other cryptocurrencies are attempting to improve upon the throughput issue. Solana is a particularly prominent one with 50k/s

Whereas UTXO-based designs get parallelizability by design, creating a programming model around them has been harder, and frankly there aren't even that many people trying. Full-transparency, I've been working to solve this problem, and believe I've cracked it. Check out https://run.network if this interests you.
Bitcoin incorporated Compact Blocks which similar improves average case behavior.

Things like thinblocks or compact blocks only help on average. Bitcoin must be robust for worst case.

I did in the paper this post is about (in the context of bitcoin). Look at the section on Miner Centralization Pressure: https://github.com/fresheneesz/bitcoinThroughputAnalysis#min...
> these high tps coins all seem to get around this by weakening decentralization
Yes, that's true.

The trick is to ensure that distance does not play a substantial role in a node's "vote". That's one reason that blocks must take so much time to be mined in bitcoin (10 minutes). Proof of work systems that have less-than-a-minute block times are just not very safe. It takes time for lots of entities to come to a consensus across the whole world.
> I suspect the reason TX speed tends to stay mired in the tens per second region is that no amount of consensus accounting gimmickry will overcome the underlying physical limitations of true global scale decentralization of consensus.
Yeah, there are physical limits. The speed of light is the ultimate limit here. You can't come to a consensus with someone faster than you can send and receive a response from them. And the minimum requirements for consensus probably require a lot more than one message and one response.
