What do we want? To prove to our opponents that our point of view is the only right one? Or to finally scale?
Those that can see that 'the Emperor wears no clothes' can tell you that Core clearly does not want to scale. Otherwise they wouldn't be stalling for years, offering convoluted solutions to simple programs, breaking agreements and refusing to compromise.
At this point, it is obvious Segwit will almost certainly not get the 95% it needs for activation. Rather than accept 2MB+segwit, they will do more stalling. UASF in some different BIP maybe.
