Strictly speaking, bip110 was not the first demonstration of centralized power of mining pools. Taproot has proven this indirectly. Nobody knows if taproot would have been signaled at all by a uasf.
Segwit made taproot possible.
Taproot made ordinals possible.
Ordinals made brc20 tokens possible.
Segwit = defcon5 = No real threat, made LN possible (advantage)
Taproot = defcon4-3 = Turned out quite quickly as the gate that was opened to let the threat in.
Ordinals & brc20 = defcon2-1 = The threat that rages and causes chaos
The truth is super simple. Always. The pool operator decides which software is operated and what is signaled. Not the people who run the pool. However, it was different.
Thus, the most decisive attack has already taken place in the early history of the network.
The system of slavery and corruption into which we were born has developed in the same way to the degree of enslavement, what it is today. Over time, over generations, it took time for the sling to be fixed.
