It seems like there's also resistance to meta-solutions that allow bitcoin to be used for non-cash purposes.
can you give an example?
NFTs are one. Tokens are another.
It might be a mirage, but the mirage that I see in the community is
We don't want bitcoin the network being used for things other than manipulations of bitcoin the asset.
Bitcoin can already be used for NFTs and other tokens (using protocols like Counterparty, Omni, OpenAssets, Taro, etc). So while I understand why people want to try to restrict use of the blockchain to be only for BTC ecash use cases I think it would be unfair to oppose some new protocol that enables doing a lot of useful new things with BTC and also happens to allow creating and transferring other digital assets. It might even be impossible to come up with a protocol that can be used with BTC but no other digital assets (or maybe it is possible, but the tradeoffs are too restrictive even for their liking; in any case, if it were possible, I would think that the BTC-only people would have proposed it by now).

In your recent blog (you write well by the way - very clear thinking), you describe bitcoin's meta-problem
You later reason
due to this being a hurdle to consensus changes.

Do you think this resistance is valid?
