Follwings are just fact related to SegWit.

1. SegWit fixes tx malleability.

2. SegWit increases size of the block.

Obviously, 1. is a good thing. And then, I am little bit confused.

Is the increased blocksize really a good thing?

Sure, we should draw a line somewhere. It can be a tradeoff between abroad distributed nodes and better user experiences.

I'm just curious, because the book "The Blocksize War" is illustrating that it is a just good thing.

Block size increase could’ve been an argument against segwit. No one really brought it up at the time as an argument against segwit

I think it's because there were no small blockers at the time. It doesn't mean good or bad. Just it was.

Now I think the book is too biased and worshiping toward Blockstream side. (Yes, I'm also biased, but against Blockstream)

No there was. The segwit block size increase was a compromise
