Let's be perfectly clear, we don't even know if the majority of economic nodes enforce segwit... We have reasons to believe they do, but really we don't know. All we know is that miners reject invalid...

We have at least the illusion of consensus on SegWit, and that a good chunk (not any majority) of economic participants do enforce it (considering they rely on for example witness-embedding TX submissions)

I guess this all inevitably reflects in miner actions, through nth-order effects.

Yes that is my point. It is true that miners only follow consensus, they don't create it, but their behaviour is the only objectively observable thing. The moment you find yourself on a chain that isn't the absolute heaviest with a large margin, you better go check what's going on, software can't ...
