The main problem is not how problematic is to get out, but how easy is to change that so you don't have to pack your bags and do it!
It is not easy. It never was.
That is the hard to swallow pill. It is bloody hard to find consensus for a change in decentralized systems. Let alone, a change that will split the network into two separate. The history has shown that people will not follow.
It may be simple to your head, like changing a constant in the code, but I suggest you to confirm this assertion by trying to convince everyone to follow; they won't. Not because increasing the block size is inherently a bad idea (I mean, for some it is), but because they acknowledge that for a network of this shape to work harmoniously, people need to make compromises. Compromises like prioritizing the harmony over their diverse interests and perspectives.
oh shut up with your stupidity
bitocin has not used real consensus for 6 years
new junk and new formats have slid in without needing network readiness
just look back at history
consensus as used november 2016-june 2017 only reached 45%
but as you well know core and their sponsors managed a mandate that within 2 months of that caused an unnatural 100% activation which then didnt need network readiness then after
so stop pretending that getting majority compliance is not possible when core have set precedence that even in contention they can slide things in unnaturally.. so stop pretending that core devs cant do what they hve already done and stop pretending they cant undo what they already done
