Woot! But BTC.com and ViaBTC still mine blocks under 1MB.
They have to set the maximum weight to 4 MB, otherwise this won't work which is why it's already less effective than it should be. Most miners are lazy / slow / incompetent or malicious. Take a look at the nice blocks that Antpool is mining: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/pool/antpool.

What is Weight (kWU)? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/54726/what-is-block-weight-and-how-is-it-different-from-block-size answers:
if so, why do we need segwitX2? if we already have average of 2MB?
The average is still 1MB. I now know I know nothing anymore.What is Weight (kWU)? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/54726/what-is-block-weight-and-how-is-it-different-from-block-size answers:

The block transaction capacity of non-Segwit transactions is the same as before Segwit, 1 MB.
Blocks received by legacy nodes will be less than 1,000,000 bytes. Blocks received by Segwit nodes, on the other hand, can be up to 4 MB.
The average Segwit block size will be roughly 2 MB, though Legacy nodes will still receive blocks that are 1,000,000 bytes or lower due to stripped witness data.

That's the point, we don't need it.
