He’d have more power if BIP 110 activated, though, no?
No, he didn't even write the BIP, he just agrees with it. Also, the BIP doesn't have a governance prescription. Just limits some taproot OP_codes, and OP_RETURN size.
I encourage people to actually read the proposal and not just get the info second hand.
Power may be the wrong word. Too much trust
That's why I am helping with the Bitcoin Commons, man. Thebitcoincommons.org
A bitcoin spec and a way to spread out the implementations without the fear of being out of consensus.
Then don't. Do things yourself instead of complaining when others do what's needed
