I have one new perspective since 32MB blocks were mined: could it be that during stress test miners didn't want to mine 32MB blocks so that they can say original code can't scale?
Much conspiracy. Could be wrong but I always thought its computationally ineffective to pack so many transactions in one block since the main mining reward is coming from the coinbase
Do you have proof that miners didn't do that? I know you don't, I also question miners (as everyone else) because they showed to not being able to rely on during BTC scaling debate.
