Although miners construct the blocks and receive the payout, the nodes are (/should be) more powerful. The nodes are what verify transactions so if a large percentage of nodes point to a different OS (Bitcoin Knots) or even OS version, the nodes ultimately make the decision of what chain to follow.

The nodes can give choices, but the marketplace makes the choice which chain to follow- therefore how big a change is this to not warrant a fork?

I’ve been expecting a fork for years. Bring it. I want to dump coins for more of the legitimate MONETARY Bitcoin.

It's a minor policy change so would not be a fork. It is more political re the Devs and their views on spam and noderunners. They are captured basically.
