If segwit was activated we wouldn't have this problem because there would be enough space, even tho anyone with enough money could fill the blocks too.
Ultimately there is always a possibility to fill the blocks unless the blocksize is stupidly big. So yeah blame miners for not activating segwit, until then pay the fee.
activating segwit is meaningless..
the "extra space" for the cludgy 2merkle version of segwit is for users who move funds to new keypairs AFTER activation.. so that they can hang their asses the main block and have their feet spread out in another area. allowing more transactions to sit in the main area the first persons feet used to be in..
the issue is getting 46m outputs to switch over to segwit keypairs will cause a mega mempool fill event of people trying to move funds across.
the issue is malicious people will stay with native keys and fill the seats of the main block so even segwit users cant sit down. so never get to put their feet up out the way.
the solution is a 4mb single block where both native and segwit keypairs can all sitdown side by side all sharing the same area.. and then limiting what malicious things the native key users can do.
without sorting out the native key users.. segwit is an empty gesture, a hope..
