In 2017, miners attempted to assert control over the #Bitcoin protocol, and failed thanks to #BIP148 / #UASF.
Later, exchanges attempted to assert control over the protocol, and failed again (#NO2X).
In 2021, developers attempted to assert control over the protocol by reverting to BIP9, and reintroducing and enforcing the miner veto, after the community came to consensus on BIP8.
It's not entirely clear if that failed or succeeded. But it should receive the same reaction: complete resistance.
