Most of that is a strawman: wanting to grow the main chain is not the same as wanting every transaction in world on it.

> cause Bitcoin P2P nodes to become confined to datacenters.
Someone paid a Russian hacker to DDOS the Bitcoin Classic nodes, and what we learned from that was that the nodes in datacenters are the only ones which can't be trivially knocked off the internet.
