I am not good at explaining it and I I could be wrong. This is what makes sense to me. To me It looks like core has been down a bad path for a while. Bip110 is being put out to help shrink the attack surface of bitcoin in order to keep it for the pleb. The people who actually run nodes are speaking up. We want bitcoin to be for money.

That's how I see it.

And it looks like it's getting a ton of attention. And I think it will succeed.
