> ark don't give the user a way to force a state change to occur This is not true. Ark VTXOs are on-chain signed transactions the users can at any time broadcast to mainnet and have their sats back. You can exit an Ark without the need for server agreement.

You are absolutely right.

Spark's entire trust model is based on the fact that all keys used to sign previous transactions are deleted. Problem is, it's not possible to prove without a doubt that someone deleted a key, so you need to trust Spark that they really deleted the keys. If trust is involved, it's not trustless.
