Please note my low skill level, however, from my point of view whatever ruy lopez berlin wall hermit variations don’t seem appealing with only looking to draw. In the sicilian the pawn structure with e6 and d6 if you play d5 you have the french pawn structure anyway and if you play e5 you have backwards pawn. I guess it doesn’t matter if you have equal or good position but it seems counterintuitive. Also, just with a quick glance of some of the lines of the dragon seem scary for black.
Why would anyone play the French defense?
