who wants to keep blocksize at 1mb? I was under the impression bitcoin was meant to scale.

Increasing block size wont scale anything. You get scaling when two processes can work in the same time without waiting on the other.

With blockchain it would mean two or more blocks could be mined in the same time without waiting or depending on each other.

Increasing block size or decreasing block time increases throughtput but doesn't increase scaling.

The only one valid next block concept prevent true scaling , as all miners/stakers need to synch on the next block, and cant "advance" The blockchain each on their side.

learn consensus
there would be only one chain. and NODES decide the rules... not pools, not devs.

one chain that the limits change when NODES signal they can cope (meaning no 'datacentre by midnight/gigabyte by midnight' doomsdays)
then pools secondarily start making blocks to the size the node consensus agrees to.

anything that the nodes dont consent to because devs have bypassed consensus would get orphaned.
less consent
(lower consent=more orphan/rejects - but ultimately one chain once temporary drama subsides)
(higher consent=less orphan/rejects - but ultimately one chain once temporary drama subsides)
