Over the last year of trying, and failing, to reach a reasonable compromise, it has become clear to me that some developers don’t want any on-chain scaling solution any time soon.

That's so blatant, as a lie, it's not even funny. Andersen's credibility tends to zero. Core's roadmap has a Segwit rollout in a few months, increasing tx/s and effective block size by ~70%. How can he pretend like there is absolutely nothing?
He said some devs, as in individuals. And it is completely reasonable. There will always be people trying to hold things back in any large enough organization.

On top of that, Segwit is not a scaling solution. Neither is the raise to 2MB blocks. Both do temporarily fix the current full blocks issue though.

also SW brings more size just as a sideeffect, other advantages are dominating. especially some work that is done for LN.
