you could do an irregular state change on ethereum to claw back funds, even if these funds were migrated to rollup L2s. this is because these types of L2s store their state on L1. not enough people understand rollup architecture. every rollup block is built on top of the previous state that was saved onto L1. to adjust the state on a rollup, you have to adjust that data on L1.
a fork could force any kind of state change on L1 or L2. the only reason you can't do it is that it's no longer possible to identify all the accounts in possession of the stolen ETH. they were put through tornadocash and other things. even if the community wanted to do it (they don't!!) they wouldn't be able to do it correctly anymore.
