Remember ETH hard fork? The community and it's price after hard fork?
Maybe better learn from past experience and wait a bit longer.

Who cares about the price? Why is it an objective to 'get the price up'? Very stupid. Let's get the functionality up.

Let's fork it two times - or three times. Everyone will have the same tokens on each chain to start with. Then, one chain will prove to be more reliable and higher performing that the others. Then Greg Maxwell can go take his Blockstream shitchain with Lightning Liquid side crap to hell where it belongs. Blockstream wants to own Bitcoin. I say fork it and let them have their silly side chain project. The 'other' chain with 8MB will take off and on chain scaling will live forever after.

Only Blockstream gets hurt by a fork. Fork it!

Exactly. It seems that there is no rush from the devs to do anything, and the fact that Blockstream would be hurt by the fork (probably) would definitely present some kind of correlation going on between them and the devs. There is just no reason why the devs shouldn't be worried about the functionality of bitcoin and to improve it as much as possible, rather than worried about politics, miner threats, and so on.
