You are right, but there could also be a situation where consensus is not reached in the network and there will be disagreement within leading to a soft fork. Am I correct?
There will be time with chance for scammers to abuse fork terms and make their scam forks and shitcoins. With scammers, they don't mind of hard forks or soft forks as they only see them as great opportunities to run their scams and aim at stealing bitcoins from Bitcoin holders who disbelieve in Bitcoin during chaotic times and by any reason believe that scam coins are Bitcoin blockchains with original vision of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Hard forks or soft forks, scammers don't care and people who naively believe in fork coins even don't care about it too.
