You are right, I remember talking to Bitcoin core and lightning network developers before the segwit/bitcoin cash fork. They were quite depressed as the social/marketing attacks on Bitcoin core were quite successful in hindering Bitcoin's development by a few years. At the same time as Bitcoin core won (by market share), now Bitcoin is a state where everybody accepts that Bitcoin won't have any hard forks in the future (even if it would be technically warranted).
