I heard similar arguments during the block size wars. “Bigger blocks will mean more financial activity! Bitcoin was meant to be used as money!” It was wrong to change Bitcoin then for the big blockers optimal view of Bitcoin, it is wrong now.

So you're saying we should ignore that and call it a feature like the core devs who are profiting off the Bitcoin affinity scams?

"Remember when something bad happened before? Well, its the same now!" Cooool. I guess we'll just stop thinking then.
first of all that was a hard fork. second of all big blocheads didn't believe everyone should run a node. bip110 is a soft fork that is "changing" less things than the previous two. and do it to power node runners. they are not even changes, mostly they are just harding of what was the default network policy for more than 10 years. that's the exact opposite.

If you think it is wrong to change bitcoin, then you are against taproot and opening up op_return i assume? Because BTC was doing fine the decade before those changes
