Preston, with all due respect, if you dont know the difference between a soft and hard fork, i dont see any point in you weighin on such technical topics, you dont know what you are talking about.(but everyone is free to share their opinion ofc)

That being said i absolutely agree with you on this point. Dont do shit that fucks up bitcoin, and make stupid trade-offs, but this is a very nuanced thing.

Not sure you know, but bitcoin looked way different a few years ago it changed quite a bit.

Some of those changes bought risk and complexity, but also allowed us to do a lot of interesting things.

FWIW SegWit was such a change, but it payed of, we fixed maleability enabled LN and other stuffs.

I am not 100% sure drivechains is the best thing, but also i dont have a hate them, but non-technical arguments, dont really convience me.

These kind of remarks just sound like whataboutisms(its a thing).

Also nodes do not vote, that is technically incorrect.
