Really? His claim is mostly that there’s this clear consensus for various protocol changes for Bitcoin that aren’t happening because of “lack of leadership” in Bitcoin Core. But I’m really really struggling to see where that consensus is, and for what it is.

There’s nothing that requires someone contributing to Bitcoin Core regularly to lead the charge for creating consensus around a protocol change, and I’m happy others are trying, but nearly everything I’ve seen people pushing is just very very clearly not at the level of consensus yet.

That doesn’t imply that somehow Bitcoin Core contributors are at fault (or responsible for creating consensus around other peoples’ ideas), maybe the ideas just aren’t mature yet.
