Title: If LTC activates Segwit, wouldnt BTC Core dev's port all their hard work to LTC?

If LTC activates Segwit, wouldnt BTC Core dev's want port all their Segwit and LN related hard work to LTC and continue developing on LTC chain while BTC is still deadlocked?

Similar to Nicolas Dorier with porting NBitcoin to Litecoin if Segwit passes (and TumbleBit)

yep. why wouldn't they?

it would be the only game in town. ltc would quickly become one of the most exciting coins out there with way more happening than bitcoin. what would bitcoin have to offer other than a higher price which might well erode pretty fast?

I have not read too much about LTC recently but if I remember correctly didn’t they have problems to activate segwit as well?
And if they do then what could they do to change that that is not possible to do in bitcoin.

However better things takes place bitcoin always hold its value which is not the  same with litecoin. What's​ the need of an porting. I personally think litecoin might grow in price and attract a good user base but making bitcoin go low is highly impossible.
