segwit was a softfork that increased the storage size/risk by 4x
there are numerous ways a softfork could ruin the network, ie an OFAC softfork, etc
if a country bans Bitcoin the number of users will drop. It simply adds more friction to getting access to Bitcoin, like when it's removed from brokers/exchanges. But I'm not sure what the original OPs point was

Storage size sure if you are running a node, “storage risk” to Bitcoin holders is another concept entirely that doesn’t apply in any way I can think of, and I think that was OP’s intent.
A soft fork could be damaging yes, luckily there’s extremely heavy contention for even thoroughly reviewed and low risk changes and that will only become more true with time.
Jurisdictional friction, yeah, but again even with maximum friction applied it’s still easier to onboard and transact bitcoin than it is gold.
