Yes, it was co-opted to be slow and expensive. This was the reason for the split to Bitcoin cash BCH. That's where the real Bitcoin is IMO. I was involved since 2014, and I think the world will eventually come around to bch more and more. The Bitcoin minimalist crowd is brainwashed and co-opted, and most of them don't use Bitcoin to transact or understand it. Transactions need to be fast and cheap to be useful
I was in BCH for a time. The numerous bitcoin variations was too much for me. I was in ETH for a time then EOS with the promise of fast and fee less transactions. I even got to using their limited dapps. But the ecosystems never amounted to anything.
So many promising ideas but very little came to fruition
