Now the question is:
Was this expected?
Is this how to solve the scalability of Bitcoin?
How is the creation of more and more hard fork helping Bitcoin?
Is this something Bitcoiners would like?
Short answers,
1. I don't know, since i don't really follow Stacks development.
2. It's just one of many ways to solve scalability.
3. You're asking wrong question, since the hard fork happens on Stacks (the Layer 2), not Bitcoin network itself.
4. Who knows. But it's not part of Bitcoin protocol, so Bitcoiner who don't like it could just not use it.
