The central misconception to a lot of the segwit FUD was that the witness data of all transactions in a block would be some sort of optional second data package next to the block (like an extension block). Once you understand that segwit transactions include their witness data, and the witness data is not actually separate from the block or transaction, most of these mischaracterizations dispel themselves.

Thank you for your answer!
Watching the video I was indeed under the impression that it mainly came from a misunderstanding around how SegWit works. Here the video shows a capture from a talk by Peter Rizun where the worlds "extension block" are mentioned. I was not there at the time but I think it was a common misconception regarding SegWit.
