I do wonder if the humility of top climbers like Ondra could be slightly limiting the progression of new higher grades. Like, could it be possible for Adam to climb another 9c route like DNA (or others in the future) and with that perspective, upgrade Silence rather than downgrading the other route?

If the grading remains honest i can see humans eventually conquering 9c+, maybe even 10a. Not beyond that, physically impossible. They are near the limits. Of course they can 'say' this was a 10b or whatever, but it probably won't really be. It is just as well for now that the person setting the standard and calling the highest grades (as the best climber) is a person of integrity.

If it’s wrongly graded it will quickly be downgraded.

Everyone who has looked at both of them agrees that silence is a much harder climb.

He is by far the best sport climber, boulderer, and indoor competition climber in the world. All the other top-class climbers (Sharma, Megos, etc) agree on that. As far as multi-pitch goes: he is the only person to have free-climbed the Dawn Wall leading every pitch. No-one said he was 'supposed' to set 10a: he himself says above he almost certainly won't. He has done many 'high-ball' boulder routes: if he doesn't free-solo, it may well be because life is precious to him. He has lead-climbed 56 routes graded 9a+ (5.15a) and above: the next closest is Chris Sharma with 20 such routes. I really don't know what you want him to be more than he already is, I don't care, and neither I imagine does anyone else.

3:44 One slap 9b, Silence 9c. The names 'one slap', 'silence' makes me think this guy is arrogant, egoistic and is kind of trying to humiliate other climbers. Whatever, I like Alex, much more humble and honest about his work, inspires me personally.
