Well Ethereum core developers actually made the hard fork and Ethereum Classic was a small team that didn't want it, but still was able to survive on principle that blockchain should not be reorganized. So it wasn't even like the Segwit2x fork would be, it was a fork that wasn't planed before the blocks where mined and was done retroactively to censor certain transactions.
The thing is that unlike Ethereum fork, Segwit2x is not supported by developers nor by users. And Segwit2x organizers know this, which is why the delayed it, in hopes that maybe one day people will change their mind.
Segwit2x would only double the block limit and that increase might not even be necessary with the implementation of Lightning Network as LN will increase the capacity of the network by an order of magnitude (theoretically to infinity if channels do not get closed eventually, which is of course highly unlikely). So there is no good incentive for Bitcoin users to make a first majority hard fork on the Bitcoin network and unlike Ethereum, Bitcoin is a lot more decentralized, bigger and more stable, so this would not go easy.
