In the New York agreement, developers of Bitcoin ecosystems suggested the implementation of SegWit and the glorious Bitmain gave a crisis and did not accept.
Because?
Your equipment would lose its advantage, ASICBoost is not compatible with Segwit.
https://medium.com/@WhalePanda/asicboost-the-reason-why-bitmain-blocked-segwit-901fd346ee9fSupposedly Bitcoin Cash was created to improve ecosystems with the implantation of blocks larger than 1mb, however, such improvement is not in fact, being used, some blocks at peak times were higher than 1mb, see the chart:
https://fork.lol/blocks/sizeThe truth, Bitmain saw that it could not insure SegWit, so, not to lose its advantage with ASICBoost, decided to create Bitcoin Cash, surprisingly, in a few days the company made more than 100 million with Bitcoin Cash.
How did Bitmain value Bitcoin Cash so much?
Today you only buy an Antminer S9, certainly the most sought after mining on the planet, only with Bitcoin Cash, see the link in the payment window.

To fight with an unscrupulous company of this size, I see only one way, let's unite, so we'll have a voice.
See the emails we receive from Bitmain are copies of each other.
I created a group in gmail to try to group as many people as possible. Anyone can help manage the group.
