it is a hard fork because the result would be two chains: the existing chain and one with frozen coin
kinda fuzzy on the technicals but yeah,
in addition to P2PKH or P2WPHK we also get Pay to Quantum Resistant Hash or something
Got it ..because Bitcoin security is NOT a bandaid type anti virus .. it is built into signature scheme .. like the network itself is a Security software 😎😎
You're conflating chain splits with backwards compatibility.
#chatGPT : Because SegWit was a soft fork, the network continued to recognize P2PK and P2PKH (Legacy) addresses as valid. If Satoshi woke up today, their private keys would work exactly as they did in 2009.

The simple question from a layman is : what happens to Satoshi's coins ?
If something like my migration BIP activates then either Satoshi upgrades the locking scripts for their coins or they get frozen.
While my research suggests it should be possible to enable a recovery option for BIP32 wallets, there's no additional data available that JBOK wallets would be able to use to prove to the network that they aren't a quantum attacker.
