According to BitMEX Research, the blocksize war within the Bitcoin community was about more than just the technical aspect of blocksize. In 2015, there was opposition to figures like Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn, who were associated with the Bitcoin Foundation and perceived as linked to major financial institutions. This opposition has evolved, with some now challenging the current Bitcoin Core developers, suggesting an ongoing tension between different factions within the Bitcoin ecosystem. (Source)
