A properly written softfork only activates with say 90% consensus by a specific block height. If it doesn't reach 90% then nothing happens, nothing to see here, move along.

that assumes the soft fork promoters actually want to build consensus
And also only the so called economic nodes actually have any power over the protocol. So if they spin up a bunch of sybils and make it look like they have consensus but the economic nodes were never onboard it's still a contentious chain split.
