all you care about is ways to make bitcoin expensive and impractical to use as a p2p network so you can scam, scheme, and and syphon value away from people for your own buddy groups gain.
I've noticed this excuse lately from big blockers. Is this really all you have? In my local board, someone argued that the Bitcoin developers don't want scaling, because they're cooperating with politicians, so they can slow down adoption, with second-layer solutions being an obstacle to it. He even argued that due to Mastercard funding the development, it is behind this conspiracy. You sound like him now.
In which galaxy do we want Bitcoin to be more expensive and unusable as a peer-to-peer network? Grow up for once and use arguments adults use.
