Indeed... Couldn't agree more.
On subject: If you're not upgrading, I assume you're against any scaling solution. SegWit is the only scaling solution that's been tried, tested and thus far supported by most people... Is SegWit the best solution? Maybe not. But it's the best we have so far and we have to work with it.
As for Satoshi, I hope you're sitting while waiting for his opinion on the matter. I also wonder why would his opinion influence yours and influence Bitcoin's destiny so much...
the funny thing is that nobody cares what we do, whether we upgrade to segwit or not, implementing it would fall to what miners decide since they are the ones signalling segwit implementation.
in other words if all nodes switch to segwit the percentage is still a plateau at 24%
