based on what you've wrote: Do people want him in a leadership role? Probably not (a no from me). Do people trust his work in regards to security? Probably not (a no from me). So why are people installing Bitcoin Knots and the number of them are increasing? I'd imagine it's a very simple answer: because most people are signaling that they don't want the op_return increase change, and if they have to install knots to signal that, even if most people read that post about the current leadership and maintainer of it, and have the opinion that knots maintainer is bad and they'd try to stay away from him, they'd still install knots, not because of knots, but simply because they don't agree with that single change coming in Bitcoin Core 30, let alone dealing with inscriptions. I'd imagine people would say, as a response to not use knots, is "if you don't want us to use knots, or whatever other similar node, and not continue advocating for it and increase the conversions to it, then don't move forward with this change, and never do unless there's a really good reason, which is doubtful". That's how I see things, and I'd imagine most on the non-core side with this upcoming update, from what I understood in all of this.

Basically the gist is, Knots just happened to be there, as a node that keeps op_return to a minimum, for people to hop on and increase their voice to show their resistance to core 30's op_return change. They don't necessarily care about the person behind it, in fact they might even like the person at all, but they're biting the bullet for now with knots to signal the disagreement with core 30. For me, assuming all this info is true, I'm biting the bullet for now with knots until there's a majority of it being knots (or until core 30 reverse the op_return change), at which point I'd want something like knots but not ran by the same person. This isn't about being pro-knots, it's about being anti-core 30 update / anti high op_return with an anti inscriptions on the side.
