I think that you've become confused about the distinction between the Ethereum virtual machine and the Ethereum public blockchain.
Raiden is a project that will work on any blockchain running EVM code, not only the blockchain that has had this DAO drama. So, for example, many of the internal private blockchains in use at major banks and corporations will be able to benefit from Raiden.
There is an interesting discussion to be had about the merits of Turing-complete (EVM) vs not Turing-complete (Bitcoin script), but you have chosen to focus on some off-topic drama instead.
