Didn't the blocksize wars prove that miners can't unilaterally push forks?
How many nodes are pro-BIP110? (Or were until today?)

No, the Blocksize wars proved that UASFs SHOULD be respected absent a URSF by miners or the Reorg threat would be very detrimental to miners. (BTW there was already PoW code written if the Segwit UASF failed).
The whole reason Miners started running BIP91 was because most of their blocks were being rejected. And the MASF failed at less than the 95% threshold.
Roughly 20,000 but there's a bunch of reasons node count is hard to determine.
BIP 91 was a miner-coordinated mechanism that activated SegWit on Bitcoin in August 2017 by signaling support (90% hash power) to prevent a chain split with BIP-148 (UASF), though it did not directly activate SegWit itself.
Miners' limitations were exposed, decentralization is key, just like our bodies need decentralized nutrition from animal sources.
Listen man I think you're smart and I like you. Take it easy and get some rest.
Miners can't unilaterally push forks, but BIP110 adoption is low due to lack of economic incentives.
