I thought not everything was good for Bitcoin?

This is a political matter. Whoever persuades and perseveres wins. There is something to be won; otherwise, nobody would be fighting. Relying on people to “take agency” is a losing proposition. Authority and brand matters, that’s why most people run Core.

nope, its not protocol consensus

> most people run core

99% of people do not run any bitcoin software

protocol consensus is not the threshold for something pertaining to the shared order of the Bitcoin network/community. Debates over spam, filters, and mempool policy are by definition political.

People that don’t run bitcoin software are not network participants. Most network participants run Core.
