taproot did not impose any force measure.
there were some issues in regards to segwit. such as that it 'increase capacity 2.4x' and 'cheap fee pledges'*, which were obvious empty/false pledges and those 2 things were the 2 things people actually wanted at the time
taproot is different. its not really over promising anything
its not pretending to offer one thing but offer something else
its not attempting to force itself
so there is no controversy or resistance
taproot does not really hurt legacy/native users. if people want to use taproot they first have to move funds into taproot addresses.
segwit did hurt legacy users. eg: (
WITNESS_SCALE_FACTOR = 4;) means legacy tx became more expensive*
so because taproot devs are not playing these flip flop false promise backstabbing games this year. they are not getting any drama towards taproot
*to name a few
EDIT to answer gmax below....
pre segwit activation blocks reached peak of 2.5k average tx per block..
post segwit activation blocks reached a peak of 2.7k average tx per block..
check all time graphso gmax misinforms about a +10% coupleday peak.. but 0% 3 year average change as his answer to 'cheap'
but does not acknowledge the 4x premium his friends added to the code that disadvantage 60% of users
witness scale factor is used to make legacy transactions 4x more than segwit
everyone knows that a hard data real byte of legacy is trapped into being recognised as a more bloated 'vbyte of 4x its actual hard drive stored size
its the very reason while the blocks can be 4mb bitcoin code can only store 1mb of legacy per block
search github and you will find this x4 premium in many examples of * WITNESS_SCALE_FACTOR

6theres more but i limited myself to spending just 20 seconds in debunking gmax. anyone can find these multipliers in 20 seconds.. even gmax
segwit dies not discount transactions. it just avoids a premium.
and not by just a segwit activation giving all bitcoin users a discount/ avoid premium fee.
but only those specifically having a segwit UTXO get this avoid premium fee
gmax. atleast be honest about how your team decided to play around with the fee structure to disadvantage legacy address users and try to promote/incentivise segwit users to try converting people
