- soft forks without consensus result in a chainsplit - bcash was a hard fork with minority support so it trended to zero - more people should use their own bitcoin node, they can run whatever software they want - if the desire is to try to push through a soft fork with legal threats that is lame as fuck and will probably fail

Not every soft fork leads to a chain split. While Taproot and Segwit have dissent, they haven’t resulted in a split. There’s a non-zero probability that CSAM on nodes can be outlawed, which can’t help adoption. While everyone can run their own node, not everyone is savvy enough to patch their bitcoin software, unless you make a highly customizable version.
