What makes you think that hasn't already happened? What makes you think the blocksize wars weren't a state sponsored attack to keep blocks small and prevent Bitcoin from scaling to global use?
Because states aren't competent enough to hide their tracks like that. I read Blocksize Wars and it looks like just regular individuals/organizations/companies etc, not states.

Who do you think sponsored the massive DDOS attacks that targetted non compliant nodes and took entire ISPs offline? Who compromised online communities and systematically banned and silenced anyone who promoted pro blocksize increase positions?
