Neither the community nor the core devs wanted 2x in the first place. That's why the original pre-segwit 2x fork didn't work; then BCH was created as a protest; and then (for some reason) the same group of people tried to push Segwit2x to get 2x into BTC yet again. The last one (Segwit2X) had it's reference nodes so poorly coded that the mining nodes didn't even manage to mine their first block; due to 3 separate off by one errors that even basic testing would have revealed. Shoddy coding like that is yet another reason why the core devs (and the community) wanted nothing to do with the 2x team. And given how it took them months to fix BCH's difficulty algorithm, I'm not really convinced that they've improved.
