The bigger question is why would Russia do it?
What would they gain?
They lose significant money and control now.
There was zero gain on Russia’s part.
It is far more likely a western country performed the act.

The going narrative it Putin will use the bombing of NS2 as propaganda to gain support on the home land.

True but the primary investors in NS2 are western...investors in Gazprom. The biggest issue was Putin forcing Germany/Europe to pay for gas in rubbles. That's what really threatened the U.S. That threat is gone.

SFP says Putin did in an attempt to not "the bad guy".
It doesn't make logical sense for Russia to have done it. That doesn't mean they didn't do it. It could be related to a longer term military goal.
It does make sense for an enemy of Russia to have done it.
You would think that European nations wouldn't want to do it because of the pain it causes their citizens. But, again, perhaps this is an acceptable pain for a longer term strategic goal.
Certainly, it makes sense that the U.S. may do it. That doesn't mean it happened. But, those pretending the U.S. doesn't have strategic motive are in denial.

The pipelines were already non operational for “maintenance”.
Destruction of the pipeline furthers their excuse of shutting off gas to Europe right before winter.
This isn’t about money. It’s about power
