Gonna explain this again, since I guess you need a memory refresh:

1/ CEOs of major wallets were freaking out on high fees, said users were upset, couple threatened a malicious hard fork BEFORE 2x because THINGS WERE THAT URGENT. Claimed Core was holding them back, blah, blah 2/ Meanwhile SegWit was developed & tested for 2 yrs as a backwards-compatible way to enact a block size incr, fix malleability, make hardware wallets function better, more security for P2SH, improved script versioning, reduced UTXO growth, etc. B/c Core devs actually INNOVATE.
