Just to point out that SegWit is everything but "already adopted in the industry". It turns out that SegWit is the solution promoted by the developers of bitcoin core to allow for bigger blocks, and solve some issues like transactions maleability. It's more than 10 000 lines of code highly controversial because they require... A soft fork, and will change bitcoin in a fundamental ways.
Not to add that a company called "Blockstream" have paid almost every developers of bitcoin core to push Segwit without a clear consensus from the community. Worse, this company actually support the huge censorship happening in bitcointalk and r/bitcoin. Blockstream received more than 75 millions from AXA, for obscure reasons.
The paper only focus on Segwit, without mentioning that Segwit has nothing to do with ASICBOOST. The community and a growing majority of miners is actually switching to bitcoin unlimited, a fork of bitcoin core.
Sorry for the little off topic comment but I love Bitcoin and I hate that a few dishonest people took control of it and try to destroy it.
