You seem to be pretty confident that Bitcoin was built to attract investment and deliver fast ROI (aka "make money fast"!).
I believe it was not. It was built as a decentralised alternative financial and economic system and we are only at the beginning of that.
It was not built to give up decentralisation by lifting the sky on blocksize to let facebook users exchange pocket money for 'likes' or something. There's something more serious behind Bitcoin than that. That's the grand experiment. And it is successfull and nobody will stop it anymore. If you think different then just invest your money in Mastercard shares or something.
Of course they are. And don't worry, scalability will adapt without handing the blockchain over to governments.

Hyperbole much?
They're going to raise the TPS capacity modestly? Good. The 1MB4EVA crowd may be ridiculous, but they exist.
Any linear increase of transaction throughput by increase of the blocksize is irrelevant to the actual job of scaling Bitcoin.
The 1MB4EVA crowd was mostly a reaction to the alarmists' original proposal of fatally hampering Bitcoin's decentralized nature by way of expedited bloating of the blockchain.
Remember that the original proposal suggested a 20MB blocksize increase.
