I was actually disgusted by the fork - it was a 'the emperor wears no clothes' moment: Instead of standing by the proposed system, the stakeholders instead chose to change the rules. This can happen again any time for whatever reason.

Happened to Bitcoin as well, the moment was the big block debate and UASF - the narrative from Bitcoin Core developers for years had been "miners hashrate 1 CPU 1 vote" (this is how they drove BitcoinNG out, the client by Andersen the person Satoshi left maintainership to). Then over a day decided to flip "well fuck the miners it is the users running node software which can activate a fork". No clothes.
