Nope, the problem is that covert ASICBoost mining has created a strong, valuable incentive for miners to oppose protocol upgrades while supporting much more destructive ones like the recent extblocks, which is susceptible to instantaneous, irreversible full transaction invalidation on a reorg.
ASICBoost in its other forms is completely compatible with SegWit.
