i didn't want the changes. i was against segwit fwiw. as a developer, i hate how complicated the whole thing has got.
the biggest problem with it is that segwit doesn't set a limit on how much witness a transaction can use. in theory, one can jam one transaction into one block, if one has the several bitcoin fee required to displace all competing tx's.
the problem doesn't really hurt miners, so we can't find a solution that benefits them and prevents the spam. users could do things to reduce it, but at best they would only slow the ingress of these garbage transactions to the nodes feeding miners block templates.
the pandora's box is already open now, and lightning is still in beta and shit is just gonna be messy for a while.
money touches everyone's life, so it's an unfortunate consequence that it also is of far greater interest to psychopaths wanting to indulge themselves in ill gotten wealth for the various services it provides, that the fight is extra intense.
