I agree with very close to 100% of that. I would just beg to differ on the part that says "Incentives > ideals. Full stop. "
I think the blocksize war proved that this is not always the case. The other side had the vast majority of the mining and almost all of the VC money.
The UASF crowd was okay with the price going to zero rather than submitting to the dark side.
We see that also with religions. Truly religious people are very willing to sacrifice their interests for their ideals. Faith in bitcoin can be almost religious, if the ideals are aligned. But v30 disaligns those ideals for many maxis, and thus undermines the "faith" in bitcoin.
