Segwit also increases the amount of information (and size) of the data in the blockchain. This is why many people are against the use of segwit.

The problem of a larger amount of information sent in each transaction means that the blockchain grows larger at a faster rate. This may not be a problem now, but in 10 years, if somebody wants to have an offline wallet they will need to download the entire blockchain which will be huge.
