Able to read just fine, thanks. SegWit will less than double the throughput.

Initially yes; it has the potential to go beyond that though.

Require a hard fork

So?

It's a Blockstream product, not Bitcoin.

LN is not a Blockstream product and it is Bitcoin. Anyone who states otherwise is either ignorant or deluded. You might have mixed up LN with sidechains.

You're marketing it as a solution to tps, don't care what the initial thinking behind it was.

Who's marketing it as a 'solution' to tps? Neither Segwit nor a 2 MB block size are a solution of any kind when it comes to transaction capacity.
...

So you're telling me SegWit is not a solution to scaling, there are "possibly some smaller block size increases" [hard forks] down the line, and you still want to go through with it? Even though Bitcoin doesn't need to scale?

Who is paying for it again? Whose entire business model hinges on it?
