Do you even realize that the long term outcome of Lightning (the Holy Graal of Core folks) would be to massively reduce the amount of transaction fees versus an on-chain scaling?
Wait, what?
Core is simultaneously accused that they want "higher fees" or "fee competition" and now accused for "wanting to massively reduce fees with lightning".
Please decide what core wants.
Core people are clueless about economics. They doesn't understand the consequences of their wishes.
Well, I'm not debating core devs here, rather their "attackers".
All this time I was hearing "ohhh core people are bad, they want to price squeeze out the small guy", then I see someone saying to a chinese miner that classic is good for them because lightning will reduce their mining fees in the long run - or something to that effect, and now you saying "ohhh fees will go down" etc.
It seems that people will go to any stretch just to attack core devs. Even when their attackers have flaws in their reasoning because they are attacking both directions (low & high fees), it's still core devs fault for not understanding economics
