Segwit was absolutely going to activate. Prior to that actually happening some unknowable but small amount of economic nodes deployed a UASF (like BIP110) that would have caused themselves to be forked off of BTC *before* segwit activation (like BIP110).

In order to prevent this pointless disruption, BIP91 was introduced as a way to coordinate earlier miner signaling of Segwit. Then of course we had to listen to a decade of UASF nonsense, which was also the reason Taproot was significantly delayed, finally being activated after the UASF route was fully rejected.

So the "historical fact" is that BIP148 was irrelevant, and BIP91 allowed them to save face. And they’ve been abusing that gift ever since. And now we are going to see what happens when a UASF actually activates.
