Craig Wright sued a dozen bitcoin developers, claiming damages because they owed him fiduciary responsibility. He wanted to force them to hardfork bitcoin to assign 111k bitcoin to him. You're going down a ridiculous road. Nobody would write open source software if it entailed fiduciary responsibility. If you succeed, bitcoin dies.

Wait a second, my bad maybe I should have looked better up the accurate definition of fiduciary responsibility. Of course I don’t think btc devs can be legally sued, but what I believe is that they are morally responsible to the users for their work (this because in the last debate core/knots it was said “we don’t own anything to users”). Yes you contribute to open software, but this doesn’t mean that you have no responsibility whatsoever to the users (like informing them of your decision process and openly communicate with users). What I don’t like is the core devs narrative of “we don’t own anything, we don’t have to explain anything to anybody, and if we you dont like what we are doing change software”. Good god man what happened to open and clear discussion? I get that devs wanna cater to the technical aspects of things, but how btc is too important to too many people not to engage in the “let’s explain to the public what we are attempting to do and let’s see what they think”
