There are some very important changes happening in bitcoin (taproot, eltoo, lightning). Devs aren't opposed to protocol changes, they are opposed to ill-thought changes that make it less decentralized and weaker.

Wrong, they are opposed to changes that will stop them from profiteering off higher layer solutions they provide.

  Devs are not profiting from 2nd layers, people who commit capital to these payment channels do! And even then it's tiny amounts.

    MasterCard and Visa take tiny amounts, too. DOGE and PRV (WSBCoin anyone?) don't require these layers.

Since when does Lightning Network not make it less decentralized? That's news to me
