kind of funny
segwit 2weeks grace.
yet anything not blockstream authorized 1year plus grace..
kind of stupid to keep making a bip, but then let blockstream determine to terms and conditions.

Why Blockstream? The terms and conditions are set by the node operators and miners. If they don't want a long grace period they can code in a shorter timeframe and use their own implementation. But they would have probably a hard time achieving a majority.
But I pretty agree to the position of some Core devs that a planned hard fork needs more preparation than a couple of months. 1 year from now, I don't see the ~2,1 MB Segwit blocks (as of recent calculations because of transaction patterns) becoming full, even in a speculation bubble. We have ~40% growth per year in transaction volume, so the 2 MB hardfork can wait. The goal is to get the miners that want bigger blocks and are not totally against Segwit on board of the "Segwit ship". Even an USAF in this scenario could be safer if we manage to achieve a strong majority (e.g. >85%).
That'll work 
You can effectively DoS the network with 2 MB blocks. 15 MB is absurdly large, unsafe, unneeded and would take down a high percent of our node count.
