I agree that that is the fundamental problem much more than all the softfork proposals. If everyone would make their own templates, there would be no need for BIP-110. And even more important: there would be no need to play dangerous games with chaintips and then blame it on the competition being too powerful.
I personally hope that BIP-110 fails, simply because I highly dislike the quality of the proposal and implementation choices made, and I really dislike people telling others what to do. It doesn't matter to me if the wannabe-dictator is Core removing a config option or Knots telling me the conditions to my block template, they're both equally bad.
Hopefully we can fix this with block template sovereignty in the long run, so that no one needs to tell anyone else what they can do, and we can instead enjoy strength because people (that's really the key word) have been empowered to act on their beliefs within the greater system.
