Mostly agree. I think the changes bip110 proposed would have been an improvement overall.
That said, I don't think its failure necessarily indicates the wider community just didn't care... just that it wasn't viewed as an existential emergency by the wider community to consider at this time. A non-emergency proposal would have allowed for more time and effort to be dedicated to swaying a consensus... I strongly suspect there will be even more reflexive resistance to any such proposal now.
