Institutions Do Care about the Institution of the Validator Question.
Retail markets are yield oriented. Reliability is an aspect of institutions. In the regulated finance, the validators are not only block producers, but they belong to the trust surface. Any down time or unpredictability or instability comes with actual legal and financial exposure.
This fact informs Dusk in the way it deals with consensus and staking. Participation should be secure and not leak untidy identity or behavioural metadata and incentives are made to prefer consistency to opportunism. This is not a maximization of short-term returns. It is concerning risk of operation reduction.
When institutional capital is relocated on-chain to a material extent, the behavior of the validators will be more important than the validator marketing. The chains that emerge will be the ones that look at reliability as a product.
