Only those who willingly wants to distort history would claim they there are no significant impact the launching of SegWit has bring to bitcoin transactions. I remembered a time that the pool is so full and you need to pay in percentage in other to get your transactions confirmed among several issues then. With SegWit all of those are becoming thing of the past and even if the price of bitcoin increased to that of last year and activities increased so much, I don't see any increase in transaction fees to such high point again.

I think Ver and bch are indeed the reasons they are holding the segwit adoption back at blockchain.info.

I don't understand the basis of your argument. He might have started or being part of those who started Blockchain.info now blockchain.com, but he is no longer involved in the day to day running of the platform and it even took a long while before blockchain.com integrate bitcoin cash on its platform. Eventually, I think its because SegWit has come as a game changer which then reduce the fee across board that makes no significance difference of fees in those who uses SegWit and those who does not that why they still stick to their status quo but when the tide change and they realise that customers are leaving their platform for alternatives, they will do the right thing.

I agree to what drm posted though. Blockchain.info has started to accept Bitcoin Cash deposits first but has not implemented Segwit because of what? I believe it's politics.

But yes, they will do the right thing because they will have no other route but have to use the best implementation. Cool
