What do you want me to prove? Ever since debate about changing op return started and how it was handled on github, numbers of knots nodes went up. Why? Because people believe it's great to have a software version maintained by one guy who commits on main? For sure not. It's because people don't want to give core devs that kind of power. It's because it's not clear anymore in whose interests these changes to Bitcoin are being introduced for. It's because you will upgrade core at some point and will potentially introduce 2nd and 3rd level effects with these proposed changes. It's a choice. And starting from literally 0 to 10% node runners chose to not run core this time around.
