I don't really see it solving anything at all...

Those three blocks (483844, 483845, 483846) were mined by big blockers, the goal (of those three blocks) was to keep the mining reward of BCH slightly below that of BTC.
So there won't be a massive influx of hashpower, causing a pre-mature halvening of BCH. (We were going to) stop the excessive use of EDA last time, but I overslept.
A massive influx of hash power is a PR event for attracting attention, but the downside is extremely fast block time, over-producing mining reward.
The advantage of BCH over BTC is capacity (fast confirmation and low fee), and that will win in the long run, not short run.
