Agree. Any soft fork that uses only speedy trial should be opposed. There are few other reasons to oppose it as well:
- Premature idea
- Use cases are not interesting for all users
- We are still in research phase of implementing covenants in bitcoin and looking for the best proposal
- Taproot soft fork was recently activated and its too soon
- Not enough documentation available
- Could not find any pull request in core for BIP 118 that can be reviewed
- Not enough tools available for testing
I am planning to maintain a page for all the NACKs against BIP 118 based on this thread. I am assuming you don't mind including your name in it.
