Bitcoin can have a fixed supply, or a greater assurance of future mining security, but not both. Gambling that transactions fees alone will pay miners enough to secure the blockchain is a non-trivial risk. Might work, might not.

Would fork if it doesn't. Hope hashrate doesn't become weaponised before that.

Not so sure it would. 21 million is the strongest Bitcoin meme. Would be widely sacrosanct and pretty devastating to change that.

There is also a growing part of the community that are ossificationists. They say nothing is wrong, Bitcoin is perfect, even when defects are staring them in the face.

The more time passes the harder it will be to make any changes.
