taproot doesnt help scale bitcoin.
what it does is for those that produce bloaty transactions and even more so multisig transactions they can opt to put their value into a new multisig that can the reduce the 'weight' of the transaction.. thus may reduce some bloat.
but its not a thing everyone has already opted into or is on default to be a bloat reducer just by transacting normally. it involves changing the way you transact in a different transaction format, different address.
the 4mb 'weight' rule is not allowing 4x more transaction capacity. instead its a mis-count(bad math) method of ignoring certain data aspects of certain transactions to cause a block to appear as allowing more data(bytes) without breaking a 1mb rule the devs have yet to find the courage to remove.
if the rule was actually 4m of proper maxblocksize rule without the cludgy math, then more transactions could be allowed
best estimates of average blocksize is 1.3mb
bitcoin was able to do blocks with over 2500tx a block before SW, but has still not really moved up much, if any. even a 1.4x increase would be 3500tx average.. but we are not seeing a 3500tx average
these features of SW are more gateway TX formates to lock funds up to be used on altnets. TR is being more used for altnets like liquid sidechain for their privacy tools
