Every attempt to increase the block size limit via hard forks (BCH, BSV etc.) has produced blockchains with less security (aka shitcoins):

I wish there was an easy solution, but there isn't in the IT space. I mean, if you could invent an algorithm to compress 4GB of data into a 4MB block, then sure, everyone will applaud it.

People still don't understand why the inferior IPv4 (32-bit) is the dominant protocol compared to the superior IPv6 (128-bit).

Either you understand that backwards compatibility rules the IT sector, or you don't. IT-savvy folks get it.
