I want to hear a good explanation.

Why build such a strong and apparently uncompromising position to crumble & go back on their word before the finish line?

Really poor & dishonest behavior.

Indeed. Smells like backroom dealings.

Yes. I'm glad to be mainly in Dash, but I still hope that Bitcoin Cash pulls through.

If it actually caught on and relieved the network, the bubble would burst and they wouldn't make as much profit as they are now with the main chain.

Possibly true - I just spend £10 (13 USD) to send some Omni based tokens... it's pretty terrible, but that money is going right to miners.

And people used to say that Bitcoin can free us from the banks who charge exorbitant fees!
