I think Saylor has a point in there, and I also think his intentions are sound, but he’s not necessarily framing the argument in the best possible way.
All else equal, lawyers lead to more laws and developers lead to more code. That doesn’t mean code will be automatically incorporated into hard or soft forks though.
He’s right to crave stability, and stability doesn’t mean outright ossification. He’s also right to ask whether segwit and taproot benefitted absolutely everyone in the ecosystem - they almost certainly didn’t.
However, a better way of terming it all would be for him to publicly ask whether resourcing for core devs needs to sit proportionate to money being made on a Bitcoin ETF, as I think started this whole item off. Into the long term it almost certainly doesn’t? What if Blackrock pledged the same with theirs?
