BU proponents, ... have been fighting for [1] blocking scaling and [2] Segwit and [3] pro a fork.

Not at all.

1) BU proponents believe that scaling is best served at this juncture by putting control of maxblocksize in everyone's hand, making maxblocksize an emergent property of the network.

2) BU proponents are advocating that BU be activated and dominant on the network. Unfortunately, as core will not adopt an adaptive maxblocksize, they cannot get the improvement in which they believe by running Bitcoin Core. You might see it as blocking, but there is no alternative open to us.

3) BU proponents point out that BU is fully compliant with current consensus rules. As such, running BU does not create a fork. Indeed, the BU advocates I am familiar with deeply desire not to fork. We would be most pleased should the entire network join us in this new improved bitcoin with an adaptive maxblocksize.
