Another group of people trying to start another scenario like the scaling debate again? ELI5, what is the "controversy" this time?

The group's concerns re: privacy and efficiency aren't necessarily malicious. Either way, I think they were adequately addressed by these replies:

Tinfoil hats on, what if that "group", who might only actually be an "individual", wants seperate proposals only because it sets each for another scenario for contention.

OR, what if someone wants Schnorr+Taproot blocked like how Jihan Wu wanted Segwit blocked because it disables an exploit/covert-ASIC-boost?
