I think the majority of folks on here on hodlers. Mempool doesn't matter to many and there's a multi faceted plan to make transactions faster.
Mining power can be moved and replaced and with all of the creative developers, some sort of plan is likely in the works.
I think we are in a "fox gardening the hen house" type situation here. Miners have to vote for changes, and miners are making a fortune off the very high fees that come from the congested network. Definetly a problem that Satoshi may not have envisioned.
