Why are you surprised? Your problem is that you have chosen to trust what Kratter tells you instead of people who have much better understanding of these topics. Kratter has an absurd level of belief that Core is rogue, that they are compromised and that someone from Core stole Luke's bitcoin. You would do well to question more what Kratter is telling you. Who do you think understands how bitcoin works better? Adam Back or Matthew Kratter?

Core is rogue. Merging literal crap without consensus. Bitcoin Knots will grow and grow and grow as they allow image file spam. Knots ~ 18% these days...
As I said, you should start listening to people who uderstand the issue. If you think Adam Back is wrong and Kratter is right you will find yourself making some bad choices like the people who followed Roger Ver in the block size war. Enjoy your day 👍
PS Kratter says in the video thst Luke "creates and maintains the Knots node software". He knows the truth but is hiding it deliberately because all Luke does is to directly take the bitcoin core software and add some options & filters. That's all it is., Core with patches. Don't trust, verify. Kratter is leading you astray
The issue is that Core merged controversial stuff without consensus. That's the issue.
People will continue to vote by moving to Bitcoin Knots, especially after Core 30 is released and the opp_return spam starts rolling through...
Write that down and enjoy your weekend.
Bitcoin Knots is at 18% right now b/c Core Dev ignored their Node runners. It will climb and climb and climb as they continue to ignore Node runners. Let's check back in December and see where the Knots percentage is there.
