3. It was bound to be included in VTI at some point so that's not really concerning

Just to give an idea VTI “relies on market-cap weighting to passively track the CRSP US Total Market Index. It includes essentially all investable U.S. equities (large, mid, small, and micro-cap stocks) without subjective committee selection”

It includes 3,484 holdings basically comprising much of the US market. It’s a passive index fund so there’s no forced inclusion here.

What’s more concerning is the fast track for the Nasdaq 100 tracked by the popular ETF QQQ. It’s heavily tech based, but has had strong performances over the decades, but it also more volatile than say the S&P500. On the plus side, S and P declined its own profitability standards to fast track SpaceX inclusion.
