sure, but it’s still telling people what they “should” do, and Bitcoin holders are highly averse to spending their btc.
the people earning sats already want more things they can do with their money… you don’t have to change their minds, just give them the tools to spend.

I think you misinterpret what this law says. Does the law say:
"You need to spend your bitcoin to increase adoption?"
To my understanding, no, it doesn't. All it says is this:
Metcalfe's law states that the financial value or impact of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n^2).
That's it. Nothing about what increases adoption.

it's harder to increase the number of "connected users" if current users have the high averse to spending...

Again. Does the law say:
"You need to spend your bitcoin to increase adoption?"
If not, you used the law wrong. You just abused it for your own purposes.
