Maroczy Bind but not Maroczy Bind?!

As some of you probably know, this is a maroczy bind (ignore black's moves)

but what if we do this on the other side of the board?

Is this is still a maroczy bind?

There's a weak diagonal directing the King. Kind of defeats the purpose :/

d4-f4 is literally trash. No one likes to weaken the kingside!

I know, but would is still be a maroczy bind?

Let's say the queens and dsbs are off the board, so nothing to invade on diagonals with

idk

if there aren't queens and dsbs its not chess anymore :/

No, because you don't get much by it. Maroczy Bind is good because in The Sicillian, black always aims for d5 break and so guarding the d5 square is good. But guarding e5?!!

ok thanks

Sounds like me leaving the kingside exposed

obviously not, there will be different tactical opportunities as the king is weakened, white cannot follow the same strategy

ok lel
